Persistent and Intelligent Courage

May 11 - Now that I know I can no longer use false courage that is really bravado, I seek and pray for twenty-four-hour courage to change the things I can.  Obviously, this isn't the kind of courage that will make me a strong and brave person for life, able to handle any and all situations courageously.  Rather, what I need is a persistent and intelligent courage, continuing each day into the next one - but doing today only what can be done today and avoiding all fear and worry with regard to the final result.

What does courage mean to me today?

Today I Pray - May I tackle only those things I have a chance of changing. And change must start with me, a day at a time.  May I know that acceptance often is a form of courage.  I pray not for super-bravery, but just for persistence to meet what life brings to me without being overcome by it.

Today I Will Remember - Courage is meeting a day at a time.
