One day at a time sweet Jesus

For Fapstronauts who are disciples of Christ

  1. Anyone else familiar with this song. I think this could help those that are struggling!

    You can hear the song on amazon prime music (music.amazon.com) if you have amazon prime.

    -------------
    I'm only human, I'm just a woman.
    Help me believe in what I could be
    And all that I am.

    Show me the stairway, I have to climb.
    Lord for my sake, teach me to take
    One day at a time.

    One day at a time sweet Jesus
    That's all I'm asking from you.
    Just give me the strength
    To do everyday what I have to do.
    Yesterday's gone sweet Jesus
    And tomorrow may never be mine.
    Lord help me today, show me the way
    One day at a time.


    Do you remember, when you walked among men?
    Well Jesus you know if you're looking below
    It's worse now, than then.
    Cheating and stealing, violence and crime
    So for my sake, teach me to take
    One day at a time.

    One day at a time sweet Jesus
    That's all I'm asking from you.
    Just give me the strength
    To do everyday what I have to do.
    Yesterday's gone sweet Jesus
    And tomorrow may never be mine.
    Lord help me today, show me the way
    One day at a time.

    Great post! I am too often amazed at how little I understand some of the simplest concepts. It wasn't until Tao Jones wrote "the only day that counts is today", that I twigged to the crux of the message behind "One Day at A Time". Thanks for reminding me!

  3. Seems an appropriate opportunity to again post the full Serenity Prayer. Powerful words for all those on the journey toward recovery, wholeness, and Christ-likeness!

    God, grant me the Serenity
    To accept the things I cannot change...
    Courage to change the things I can,
    And Wisdom to know the difference.


    Living one day at a time,
    Enjoying one moment at a time,
    Accepting hardship as the pathway to peace.
    Taking, as He did, this sinful world as it is,
    Not as I would have it.
    Trusting that He will make all things right
    if I surrender to His will.
    That I may be reasonably happy in this life,
    And supremely happy with Him forever in the next.
    Amen.

  4. They always leave that last part out, I wonder why. I rarely ever see the 2nd paragraph of the Serenity prayer. Would be nice if they kept it in so people can be more exposed to it. How are you doing Tao Jones?

  5. One of my mates gave me that on a prayer card way before I was Christian i beleive when I was in psychosis wasnt that thankful at the time but this reminded me that might actually thank him for it now. It was a kind gesture.

  6. Here are some different lyrics to that song. I like this version more b/c of the part I bolded below, which is why we have so much anxiety and why we often need to lean on our creator for direction and wisdom and for peace of mind. We can't do it all on our own.

    One day at a time, sweet Jesus
    Thats all I'm asking of You

    Just give me the strength to do everyday
    What I have to do

    Yesterday's gone, sweet Jesus
    And tomorrow may never be mine
    God help me today
    Show me the way
    One day at a time

    I'm only human
    I'm just a woman
    Help me believe in what I could be
    And all that I am
    Oh, show me the stairway
    That I have to climb
    Lord, for my sake, teach me to take
    One day at a time

    One day at a time, sweet Jesus
    That's all I'm asking of You
    Just give me the strength to do everyday
    What I have to do
    Yesterday's gone, sweet Jesus
    And tomorrow may never be mine
    Lord help me today
    Show me the way
    One day at a time

    Oh, do you remember
    When You walked among men
    Well, Jesus, You know
    If You're looking below
    That it's worse now than then
    Oh, there's pushing and shoving
    And it's crowding my mind

    So, Lord, for my sake
    Teach me to take
    One day at a time
    One day at a time, sweet Jesus
    That's all I'm asking of You
    Just give me the strength to do everyday
    What I have to do

    Oh, yesterday's gone, sweet Jesus
    And tomorrow may never be mine
    Lord jelp me today
    Show me the way
    One day at a time
    Lord, help me today
    Show me the way
    One day at a time
    One day at a time

    The part you emboldened in the second version (and the equivalent in the original posting) really resonate with me. It really saddens me to see the state the world is in today, but I hold on to the hope of eternal life with Him :)

  9. Yes, it resonated to me too. It’s hard in this world, we have to keep some connection our God and creator to make it through and lean on him! A lot of things going on in this world I can’t make sense of, I’m leaning on God in terms of this world and my place in it. My body and life is based on his will and desires, guidance for me!
