A devotee told me a story today of an alcoholic who falls on his knees every morning when he wakes up and prays to God to give Him the strength to make it through this one day, sober.
He's been doing this for forty years, every morning, and has stayed sober.
I'm thinking I'd like to fall on my knees every morning and pray to Krishna to allow me to make it through this one day, as His devotee. Let me not succumb to the addictions of selfish sense pleasures. Let me serve You, Krishna, with this heart and soul and senses you've provided. Let this one day be all about You, Krishna, from moment to moment, one day at a time.
I'm imagining what a wonderful forty years that would be, for me (and for Krishna).
