So I dont know really how to title this entry but this entry has to do with the topic of worry. Yesterday my pastor said something in his message that has really been helping me today. He said that God is only going to give you the strength to get through today. By saying that he was trying to get the point across that we don't need to worry about tomorrow, Jesus said to let tomorrow worry about itself so what my pastor said was accurate. So as I left service I was feeling good about the day then as soon as I got into my car I started to worry about this upcoming season in my life. School starts today and I'm going to be busy with a lot of ministry so the thought of me juggling my school work and ministry time is really stressing me out. The funny thing is I know that God can give me the strength to do all this but the thought of "how" is really what's killing me. I think what do I have to give up, am I going to have time to hangout, and am I going to sleep less because of all this? Even today I'm stressing about the rest of this week. But what's been helping me is what my pastor told me and I believe we can all find peace in all our chaos, we need to take things one day at a time. I know that is so cliche but it's so true and we always look at the days ahead of us. My pastor wasn't saying that we should plan things out but we shouldn't worry about tomorrow. The reason I love the idea of God only giving us strength for today is because it causes me to stop looking foward for tomorrow. I know that I need God's strength to get through my days and if I know that I'm going to need Tuesday's help tomorrow but can't get it till Tuesday then I wont bother worrying about it until I wake up Tuesday!
So my prayer for us is that God gives us the strength to trust Him more. I pray for an increase of faith and less worry. I pray for strength and faith for us to let God be God.
