Truth:
You do not have to shape today before you can inhabit it.
God meets you in what is already here.
Micro‑Teaching:
Much strain comes from approaching the day as a project to manage rather than a gift to receive. Formation invites a posture of receptivity—learning to notice what God has already placed in front of you. Scripture portrays God’s guidance as daily bread, not stored surplus. When you stop resisting the givenness of the day, you become attentive to grace woven into ordinary moments. Acceptance is not passivity; it is openness to God’s present work.
Practice (Today):
Pause at the start of one ordinary moment—a conversation, a task, a transition.
Name silently what is actually present without judgment.
Pray:
“I receive this day as it is.”
Reflection:
Where have you been trying to control the day instead of receiving it?
What becomes possible when acceptance replaces resistance?
Word of the Day (teaser):
Receptivity — a willing openness to God’s presence in the day you are given.
