Instead of Worrying

“Therefore do not be anxious about tomorrow, for tomorrow will be anxious for itself. Sufficient for the day is its own trouble.” Matthew 6:34 (ESV)

Instead of worrying about tomorrow, focus on today. To worry is to be drawn in multiple directions. Worry causes you to feel fragmented and overwhelmed. Someone has said, “Today is the tomorrow you worried about yesterday.” Where does worry take you? Worry takes you to an unhealthy place!

God gives you the grace you need for today. God gives you the provision you need for today. Focus on today. Release the fear and anxiety related to tomorrow. Jesus made it clear that tomorrow will worry about itself and each day has enough trouble of its own.

Aren’t you thankful that there are 365 days in a year, 24 hours in a day, sixty minutes in an hour, and sixty seconds in each minute? Jesus does not want us to worry about tomorrow. Don’t be anxious about the next installment of 24 hours. That’s why Jesus did not teach us to pray, “Give us this month our monthly bread.” Rather, Jesus taught us to pray, “Give us this day our daily bread.”

  • “Let your reasonableness be known to everyone. The Lord is at hand; do not be anxious about anything, but in everything by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known to God.” Philippians 4:5-6 (ESV)

Instead of worrying about tomorrow, choose to focus on what God wants to do in you and through you today. God is building you and developing you to fulfill His will for today. Don’t waste one moment today. Every moment matters to God so make every moment count for God’s glory.

Following Jesus Every Day,

This is a choice I have to make every day . When I find myself worrying or getting fearful, I have to stop and “Philippians 4:5-7” it. The Lord still amazes me with His faithfulness and grace and provision

Worry is a fear of the future. God is not the author of fear but rather holy confidence when we believe in Him for all things

Our human nature is to try to solve our own problems. These selected bible verses teach/remind us to put God in our everyday lives!

How very true. We spend our whole life worrying about the what if’s and what will tomorrow bring. We totally miss what God has for us in thr moment and in the day. Don’t rush your life away and miss God for the day. We miss so many blessings.

What a spot-on message. I love the breakdown of time down to the minute. That moment allowed my mind to relax and genuinely take in the words. Thank you for this incredible perspective.

Worry is a constant drag in my life. I fret about the future while I must be rejoicing in what God has done and will do. Lord help me keep my eyes on You!
