O God, today is new unlike any other day,
for God makes each day different.
Today God's everyday grace falls on my soul
like abundant seed, though I may hardly see it.
Today is one of those days Jesus promised
to be with me, a companion on my journey,
And my life today, if I trust him,
has consequences unseen.
My life has a purpose.
I am a bond of connection between persons.
God has not created me for naught.
Therefore I will trust him.
Whatever, wherever I am, I can never be thrown away.
God does nothing in vain.
