"I’ve experienced many terrible things in my life, a few of which actually happened." Mark Twain
You’ve probably heard the saying: “90% of what we worry about will never happen.”
And worry doesn’t solve anything the other 10% of the time either. It’s a parasite that sucks the life out of us.
Matthew 6:34 says “do not worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will worry about itself. Each day has enough trouble of its own.”
And worry doesn’t solve anything the other 10% of the time either. It’s a parasite that sucks the life out of us.
Matthew 6:34 says “do not worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will worry about itself. Each day has enough trouble of its own.”
God knows we have troubles, and He tells us we can handle them one day at a time with His help.
But when we project our problems into the future, they seem impossible.
That's because we leave out the comfort, hope, growth and strength God will give us tomorrow.

Whatever problems you have, lay them at Christ's feet today.
When you arrive at tomorrow, do the same. Christ will always be there to take them.
