Matthew 6:34 (NKJV) 34 Therefore do not worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will worry about its own things. Sufficient for the day is its own trouble.
Focus on today.
Is it just me, or is this challenging for others too? I must remind myself of this verse when I start to tense up.
That’s right, when I get worried about tomorrow or something is laying heavy on my heart, I tense up without even being aware that I’m doing it.
And the worst thing about it is that my lower back muscles react, and my back locks up tight because this tension/stress causes inflammation. And it presses on my nerves. I can’t even walk normally when it hits.
I end up at the chiropractor’s office every time, needing relief!
We don’t need to worry, and many of us know it. But we still do it at times.
It takes deliberate effort on our end to stop it.
It takes discipline in not letting our thoughts run wild. It takes getting God’s help in this area.
The doctors would love to give us meds to calm us down. But that’s not going to help the root of the problem. We need to pull on God.
When we are in the middle of a “worry” attack, we must ask God to help us in our unbelief. In the area where we are lacking faith, He will help us.
Mark 9:24 (NKJV) 24 Immediately the father of the child cried out and said with tears, “Lord, I believe; help my unbelief!”
No more worrying about tomorrow. Get through today. God is faithful!
Amen.
