Because each day is new and I am moving forward into unexpected territory, I may feel at times as if I am trying to make my way through a virtual wilderness. Even what seemed routine only yesterday can cause me to make adjustments in my thinking and activities today.

I prepare myself for each day of life by deciding what I will give up and what I will take with me: I give up fear and acknowledge that the spirit of God goes with me into each new day and sustains me through every experience. I give up worrying about life--and call on my faith in God to uplift me.

Aware of God's presence, I am living from my faith in God. Led by God in all that I do, I am courageous and fulfilled.
