Getting ahead of ourselves

Matthew 6:34 - “Therefore do not be anxious about tomorrow, for tomorrow will be anxious for itself. Sufficient for the day is its own trouble.”

Do you sometimes find yourself looking at tomorrow’s agenda and worrying about how you’re going to get it all done?

This inevitably will cause you some unneeded stress in your life.

It’s hard. I’ll admit it. For example, I had a hard time falling asleep last night, thinking about all I had to complete before the weekend. I know in my mind not to do this, but occasionally I’ll get myself worked up over something that I shouldn’t worry about.

I have found that this one thing works for me and have to remind myself to go back to it: It is to focus on God. Sounds too simple, but it has always worked for me.

I focus on what He’s done for me, even little things. Focus on how much I’m blessed with food, a roof over my head, family, etc.

Keep your eyes on God and everything else on your calendar fades away from your thoughts.

And the best part is it will help you on those sleepless nights and keep you connected to God.

Don’t get ahead of God; He’s already got the day planned. Just go with God, He’ll never fail you.
