Do not worry . . . But God!

Published on 11 November 2024 at 08:11

LORD, YOU tell me – Do not worry about tomorrow.

That is not a suggestion.

That is not a question.

That is a command.

 

When I was younger, a wife and mother – I worried about tomorrow.

I struggled greatly to not worry about my tomorrows.

 

When Rick’s health began to spiral down – I worried about tomorrow.

The struggle grew greater and more intense to not worry about my tomorrows.

 

These 9+ years as a widow – well.

I worry about yesterday, today and tomorrow!

I only thought the struggle was intense to not worry in times past!

This is a whole new level and degree of struggle!

 

I worry.

I am afraid.

And LORD, I trust YOU . . .

 

The storms do not stop.

Rarely even easing up.

Storms from my own life.

Storms in the lives of our kids and their families.

Storms in our world.

Always a storm.

Always worries.

Always fears.

 

GOD, I have THIS day to live.

I do not know what tomorrow may bring – good, bad, indifferent, change or same.

I don’t even know what this day will bring!

 

LORD GOD, please – HELP me trust YOU . . .

LORD GOD, please – HELP me live this day.

 

YOUR Grace is enough.

 

: 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.

  • LORD, help me THIS day. with THIS day.

 

: II Corinthians 12:9 – But He said to me, “My Grace is sufficient for you, for My Power is made perfect in weakness.” Therefore I will boast all the more gladly of my weaknesses, so that the Power of Christ may rest upon me.

  • LORD, YOUR Grace is enough. Please, Help me be in YOUR Grace today.

 

: Psalm 62:8 – Trust in him at all times, O people; pour out your heart before Him; God is a refuge for us.

  • LORD GOD, only YOU can see, only YOU can hear, only YOU can know – my heart, my life. Please . . .
