So do not worry or be anxious about tomorrow, for tomorrow will have worries and anxieties of its own. Sufficient for each day is its own trouble.
I am sure none of us wants to worry or be anxious. We plan to stay peaceful, but then life happens. I am amazed at how many unexpected things can happen in one week. They are situations we don’t plan for and things that we don’t want to deal with, but they come, and we have no choice but to deal with them.
God invites us to enter His rest through believing (Hebrews 4:3, 10). Each time a problem arises, we can worry and become anxious, or we can believe that God will help us deal with it. I believe that staying peaceful during life’s storms gives great glory to God and gives us an opportunity to grow in our faith. This doesn’t mean that I enjoy trouble, nor do I always react perfectly when it comes, but doing so is my goal.
I encourage you to stay in God’s rest today and every day. If trouble comes, just remember that it won’t last forever, and that God is with you to help you deal with it.
Prayer of the Day:Father, help me stay calm and peaceful today no matter what happens. I am thankful for Your presence in my life. I lean and rely on You. In Jesus’ name, amen.
