What Today Will Bring

A page from my book, Getting Through What You're Going Through

Hello!

Many of you get these writings through your email.

Please take a second to give this writing a heart to show you liked this post. By doing this you help these words find their way to more people who need a little hope.

Once (or twice) a week I send out a poem, prayer, or story of hope for free.

All of my posts are free, but I’d love to have you support my work and ministry as a writer by becoming a paid subscriber.

What Today Will Bring is a reminder that even on the hardest days, God has not gone anywhere. The world may feel loud, busy, and overwhelming, but God remains patient, loving, and constant. By noticing the beauty around us and the ordinary moments we often rush past, the poem is an invitation to slow down, breathe deeply, and remember that God's love and mercy are enough to carry us through whatever life brings.

Listen to the poem here.

Once again, the morning arrives with new mercies.

God takes His pointer finger and swirls the colors in the

sky for us to see.

Slow down and stay awhile, I think He whispers.

I’m with you, I know He says.

It’s as if God understands the day is about to groan loud.

Sides shout, fingers point.

To-do lists pile up and grocery prices rise.

Someone says something awful, and someone else says something worse.

Division works every angle to pull us apart.

Lies are told, truth is wrestled.

Noise fills our ears, weight rests on our chests.

Anger finds and fills our veins, anxiety sneaks in, all while hope fights back.

Hope is good at fighting back—even these days.

These days—We wonder if everything will be okay.

We forget God tells us everything will be okay.

We forget what we want to remember and remember what we’ve tried to forget.

Distraction and destruction demand our attention, and before we know it, we’ve wasted another day staring at screens.

We question almost everything, but God never questions if He loves us.

He does.

So—We hold fast and continue to bless those who curse us and pray for those who hurt us.

We continue to confess our shortcomings and ask God for forgiveness.

We continue to turn up our hands and show the world all that God has given us.

We endure with mercy, hope, and love.

We try to put our phones down and look up to see the colors God has swirled in the sky.

We try to remember we can slow down and stay awhile with the One who is with us.

Because for all we do not know, we do know this:

God is with us.
