Attachments

Lord, my state of mind is often visited by unwanted thoughts - worries and fears about what may or may not happen.  It takes quite an effort to dwell on things I absolutely do not and cannot control.  I rehearse in my mind scenarios of what I should do if different situations arise.  It is as if I am living vicariously in apprehension over endless possibilities.  It robs me of appreciating what I have at the moment which is the only thing that is real. 

Please help me to let go.  My future belongs to you and its creation is for you to shape and in time come to fruition.  Detach me from this futile exercise of rehearsing without merit the uncertainties that each day brings. With your grace, help me transcend these unwanted attachments and focus only on you and what you want me to do in each and every moment of my life.  Jesus, I trust in you.
