Happiness

Reflection

“True happiness is…to enjoy the present, without anxious dependence upon the future.” ~ Seneca

Prayer

Lord of heaven and earth, we seek happiness but often struggle with what will realize it and what path to follow that will bring it. Too often, looking ahead to tomorrow robs us of the pleasure of today. Fill our hearts with a profound appreciation of the now. Help us to experience your love in the present moment and to expend each moment sharing that love with others. May we always know that happiness begins with faith in and love for you. With confidence in your presence and care, we pray. Amen.
