“Therefore do not worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will worry about itself. Each day has enough trouble of its own.”

‭‭Matthew‬ ‭6‬:‭34‬ ‭NIV‬‬

“Do not worry about tomorrow, God is already there”.

Worry and fear, the demons of the mind.  Why?  The Bible explicates “Do not worry” – ““Do not conform to the pattern of this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind. Then you will be able to test and approve what God’s will is—his good, pleasing and perfect will.” Romans 12:2 NIV

‭‭There are many scriptures in the Bible about not to worry but to trust in God   I love to read the life of Charles Spurgeon, a man of prayer and faith.  He believed what was written in the Bible and his life reflected his belief, trust, in the scriptures.  “Thus Spurgeon emphasized what the state of our hearts must be when we pray. ‘You must draw near to God … either in a lowly sense of His majesty, or in a delightful consciousness of His goodness, or in a ravishing sense of your own relationship to Him, or else your prayer is as worthless as chaff…”. Prayer, in Spurgeon’s experience, was the intertwining of his life with that of his heavenly Father in humility and in the certainty of his relationship with Him through the Son. Prayer was not only ‘power’ and ‘sweet converse’ with God, but it was also the means whereby daily needs are brought to the Throne of Grace.”  What I gleaned from my readings of Charles Spurgeon’s life is that he did not worry, but if a problem occurred for him, he immediately went to God in prayer. 

I certainly cannot compare myself to Charles Spurgeon, but I do know through my life if i didn’t trust Jesus to get me through what I was going through, I would not have made it through the valley of worry.  The words above “do not worry about tomorrow, God is already there” were given to me many years ago by a man moving me from Oklahoma back to Dallas,Tx to face all the hurts I left there when a marriage of 32 years failed in despair.  It was not easy, but in my weakness I leaned heavily on His strength.  Yes, I still worry, but I journalize my fears and pray for Jesus’s help.  It helps me to keep going.
