REFLECTION FOR TODAY
When I have sudden changes in plans, I need to be able to adapt and not be thrown. As a controller I am somewhat rigid and easily upset by change. If I feel inadequate in the situation, it is hard to come up with "Plan B." It helps to be flexible when unexpected changes are necessary. God will help me with this if I admit my need and ask for help.

MEDITATION FOR TODAY
May I see the situation as a challenge to be adequate, even when faced with surprises.

TODAY I WILL REMEMBER
God knows my frailties and will help me with them when I surrender them.

REFLECTION FOR TODAY
The thought of changes in my life used to fill me with dread. I felt uncertain and insecure when I realized my old patterns would not be the same. Now the thought of change is exciting. My life would be so dull and uninteresting if I never tried a new way of doing things or never accepted a challenge. I could not grow if I did not step out with faith to do more and be more than I thought I could do or be. Challenges fill my life with excitement. Sometimes I cannot meet the challenge, but I know new ones will keep coming which I probably can meet. There is a joy in anticipation of learning, feeling, and experiencing new ways of living and growing.

MEDITATION FOR TODAY
I know You are with me through every change, and I expect, accept, and give thanks for the change.

TODAY I WILL REMEMBER
Life is for living and growing, no matter what my age.

September 20

REFLECTION FOR TODAY
Prospective changes in my life used to fill me with panic, especially major changes such as jobs, homes, or relationships. Major upheavals in one's life are never easy, but I have learned now to trust my Higher Power. I have learned to be more relaxed when anticipating changes. I no longer believe the worst scenario will be playing out in my life. There have been so many examples of good coming to me through changes which I dreaded. When we had to leave a beloved home, our whole lifestyle changed in a delightful manner. A job change I did not want turned into a fascinating challenge. I know many whose lives have changed incredibly for the better after an unwanted divorce. Change is growth if we accept it.

MEDITATION FOR TODAY
I thank You for the good which will come with the changes in my life.

TODAY I WILL REMEMBER
I only need to trust in my Higher Power and welcome change.
