What? Me Worry?


"Give your entire attention to what God is doing right now, and don't get worked up about what may or may not happen tomorrow. God will help you deal with whatever hard things come up when the time comes. Matthew 6:34


Actually, the NIV version makes it even plainer - “ Therefore do not worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will worry about itself. Each day has enough trouble of its own.”
Focus on the now, and not on the “what might be.” God has given us so many blessings, but if we only see the problems that might come tomorrow, we will never have time to appreciate the blessings of right now. God DOES give us what we need to get through the hard times WHEN we need them.

Don’t you think God will be there tomorrow, to provide just what you need, just when you need it? You might not recognize it at first, but give it awhile, and you will see how foolish you were to worry!

Worry can rob us of so many of the good things in our lives. And what good does it do? Worry drags us down, and the people around us. Is it hard to turn off that worry button?
Start listing in your mind (or even on a piece of paper) all the blessings you see in today! And as you list them, thank God for them.
