"Therefore do not worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will worry about its own things.
Sufficient for the day is its own trouble." Matthew 6:34
Wow, this has been one of those weeks when this statement has been truer than true. Each day has had enough trouble of its own, yet it has been difficult to not worry about what is coming next. Sometimes it seems that life speeds up and the things you have to deal with seem to bunch up. But what can we add by worrying?
This week has also been a prime example of the fact that most of the time it is not the things that you consciously worry about that give you pause and pain. It is, rather, the events that you do not see coming that drives you to tears, and hopefully to your knees.
As I said, it is difficult to not worry about tomorrow or the next day or the next week or the next month or the next year. At the same time if we can get to the point where we do not our lives will be less stressful and more focused in the moment, which I think is what Jesus really wants for us.
+ Has worrying ever been helpful to you?
+ If not, why do you continue to do it?
+ What has helped you to worry less?
