There are so many things to worry and be anxious about in this life! Many of us get overwhelmed by worrying about things that happened yesterday, what’s happening today, and the possibilities of what might happen tomorrow, all at once! That is why Jesus tells us to take one day at a time! We would all love to be able to put our anxiety and worry down, but often fear and doubt push us to a state of unbelief; and we are not able to depend or rest in the Lord’s power to us through to a better place. Then we grasp for some sort of control by figuring, as the cycle of worry continues to re-wind over and over. God knows we cannot overcome anxiety and fear without HIM, so He sent the HOLY SPIRIT to live inside us-He is our HELPER, and has the ability to change our patterns. Jesus counsels us to learn to trust Him one day at a time, and when it is really hard, to trust one moment at a time. Jesus desires that we grow and progress in our relationship with Him, look to Him for more grace, and hear His wise directions to successfully defeat anxiety and worry. In the morning, when you wake full of worry and fear pray: Today,Lord have mercy upon me…. Today,Lord put your grace on my life…. give me direction, today…. take care of my needs, today…. take care of the one’s I love, today… Lord, I am going to lean, rely and trust in you with my whole life, today!

Therefore do not worry and be anxious, saying, What are we going to have to eat? or What are we going to have to drink? or What are we going to have to wear? Your heavenly Father knows well that you need them all. But seek first of all His kingdom and His way of doing and being right, and then all these things taken together will be given you beside. So do not worry or be anxious about tomorrow, for tomorrow will have worries and anxieties of its own. Sufficient for each day is its own trouble”(Matthew 6:32b-34).
