The LORD has chosen Zion, He has desired it for His dwelling. Psalm 132:13

Remove Anxiety with Prayer

Therefore, do not worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will worry about its own things-Matt 6:34

 

Today’s verse is the part of Jesus’s sermon delivered from Mountain addressing his disciples as well as his followers.

Jesus addressing about believers’ anxiety about future things. Jesus tells to poor not to worry about food or clothes. God feeds the birds and clothes the lilies beautifully, and His children are far more valuable than birds.

He tells His followers not to worry about tomorrow and worry doesn't fix anything. Anxiety over things we cannot control, or out of our reach, makes no sense.

Jesus says born-again believers must let tomorrow worry about itself. He's not saying Christians cannot or should not make wise plans. Nor is He saying believers should literally ignore anything but the most immediate questions. His context here is about the emotions of fear and anxiety. Those who trust in God shouldn't allow useless worry over the future. Tomorrow's fight will happen tomorrow.   

Today has plenty of troubles with which we need to trust God. Jesus commands His followers to focus on trust for God in a moment-by-moment way. We shouldn't try to solve all our problems, for all time, all at once. Let God provide what is needed day by day. The heavenly Father knows what we need.

Prayer: Heavenly Father, sometimes I become exhausted, weary, and overwhelmed with worry, stress, and anxiety for the future.  I do not want to worry or be anxious about tomorrow, but instead, I want to place my trust in You entirely each and every day. In the name of Jesus, Amen.
