Matthew 6:34 “Therefore do not worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will worry about itself. Each day has enough trouble of its own.”

Think

Some days, tomorrow feels like too much. Not because it’s guaranteed to be bad—but because it’s unknown, and unknown things can feel heavy. When life is already stretching you thin, even thinking about what’s next can stir up anxiety, dread, or even guilt. You’re trying to get through the next hour, and the future just keeps screaming for your attention. Jesus gets that. That’s why, in one of the most tender and practical verses in all of Scripture, he says: “Don’t worry about tomorrow.” Not because tomorrow doesn’t matter. But because today is what you’ve been given. And that’s enough.

This isn’t a call to be careless or avoid planning. It’s a call to live present. Because anxiety loves to pull you out of the present and into the realm of what-ifs. It fixates on things that haven’t happened, might not happen, or probably won’t happen—but still steal your peace in the meantime. Jesus isn’t dismissing the fact that life has trouble. He says it plainly: “Each day has enough trouble of its own.” Translation? Stop borrowing stress from a day you haven’t lived yet.

God’s provision is daily. Always has been. When the Israelites wandered the wilderness, God gave them manna from heaven—just enough for one day. No leftovers. No stockpiling. If they tried to hoard it, it spoiled. Why? Because God was teaching them to trust him for today. And he’s still doing that now.

You may want a five-year plan. A total solution. A clear roadmap. But God often gives just enough light for the next step. That’s not punishment—it’s intimacy. He’s drawing you closer, inviting you to walk with him, not just work for him. So, if you woke up today with a knot in your stomach, a weight on your chest, or a list too long to process—pause. Breathe. You don’t have to solve tomorrow. You just have to take the next faithful step.

That may be getting out of bed. Answering the email. Changing the diaper. Making the call. Taking the walk. Saying the prayer. Just one thing. Because grace doesn’t show up in advance. It meets you in the moment. You’ll find it in the hallway outside the hospital room. In the silence after the disappointment. In the middle of the chaos you didn’t choose.

You don’t have to feel strong enough for tomorrow. You just need to know the One who promises to be there. So let yourself off the hook for being ten steps ahead. You’re not falling behind—you’re learning to walk at the pace of grace.

Apply

Do something intentionally slow today. No multitasking, no rushing. Whether it’s sipping your coffee, going for a walk, or folding laundry—stay in the moment. Let it remind you: God is here, in this breath, in this minute, and that’s enough.

Pray

God, I confess I often run ahead in my mind and get overwhelmed by what hasn’t even happened yet. Help me come back to now. Teach me to trust you for this day—for the grace I need in this moment. Thank you that I don’t have to carry tomorrow today. In Jesus’ name. Amen.
