Anxiety & Peace
Day 5 · Anxiety & Peace
One Day at a Time
“Therefore do not worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will worry about itself. Each day has enough trouble of its own.”Matthew 6:34
Reflection
Much anxiety is borrowed — it lives in a tomorrow that has not arrived. Christ gives us permission to be present to today's grace and today's trouble only. Tomorrow will have its own mercies; you cannot spend them in advance, and you do not need to.
A prayer
Father, call me back from the tomorrows my mind keeps visiting. Give me grace for today's troubles only. Help me to live this hour with You, and to leave the rest in Your keeping. Amen.
Carry this with you
What 'tomorrow' worry can you set down so you can be present today?
