Yesterday You reminded me to listen.
Through a message that spoke of loss and tears,
You asked me not to scroll past suffering.

Today You remind me of something else.

Do not say tomorrow.

Do not say tomorrow I will pray,
tomorrow I will love more,
tomorrow I will respond to the needs around me.

You have promised forgiveness when we turn back to You.
But You have not promised tomorrow.

So today, Lord,
rouse my heart from its delay.
Renew what has grown tired.
Kindle in me the courage to act now.

Let me not walk slowly toward You,
but run.
