Don’t Worry About the Future
Adapted from The Power of Being Thankful
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.
Worry, fear, and dread are classic “peace stealers.” All of them are a total waste of energy; they never produce any good results. And we can resist each of them in the power of the Holy Spirit.
God has equipped us to handle life as it comes, but if we spend today worrying about tomorrow, we find ourselves tired and frustrated. God will not help us worry. Each day has enough for us to consider; we don’t need to anticipate tomorrow’s situations while we are still trying to live out today.
The only solution to worry is total abandonment to God and His plan. Even when unpleasant things happen, we can thank God that He has the ability to make them work out for our good if we continue to pray and trust Him (see Romans 8:28).
Prayer of the Day: Father, I am so thankful that I can choose not to worry. Regardless of my circumstances, I can focus on You and trust Your plan for my life. Thank You that You are working all things together for my good.
