When we awaken each morning, each day presents a chance for challenges and blessings. With each day we have possibilities that the previous day or a day the future may or may not have. Each morning, I try to remember to speak the words “Lord, you have given me this day, show me how I can live my life in such a way that it will give You honor and glory. Each night before I go to sleep, I thank Him for the day He has given me. Sometimes I forget to do this, but most days I pray these two prayers to the Father. We need to place the past behind us and do not worry about the future and seize each day as it is our last day on earth. Forgive those that have offended and make things right with those we have offended. We cannot change our past and we cannot do anything about the future.
Yes, it is good to have goals, but we need to be careful that we do not get so focused on our future goals that we are not living our life to the fullest today. At the same time, we do not need to be bound by our past. So, with this new day that is dawning, set your mind on Christ, seek His will for your life, and go out and seize the day for the Lord. Jesus instructed us to seek the kingdom of God and His righteousness, and all your needs will be provided. He also said not to worry about your future, each day will take care of itself. The only thing that we should be concern about in dealing with our past and preparing for our future is that our own motives and attitudes line up with the Word of God, His righteousness.
Be Blessed,

Matthew 6:33, 34
33 But seek ye first the kingdom of God, and his righteousness; and all these things shall be added unto you.
34 Take therefore no thought for the morrow: for the morrow shall take thought for the things of itself. Sufficient unto the day is the evil thereof.
