Dear God, let me live here, now, in the present. Today I have plenty to do. Let me focus on the tasks and events that are right here before me.
My thoughts drift forward into the future and I find myself no longer inhabiting this day. I can barely recollect what happened mere moments ago, for I am not even here.
Lord, draw me back to this day. Let me bring all my energies to bear on the present tasks.
(Letter #1029)
