Letting Go of Tomorrow's Worries

Takeaway: We can find peace by focusing on today instead of stressing about tomorrow.

Context

This part of Matthew is Jesus talking to a crowd. He’s teaching them about trust and faith. He wants them to know that worrying doesn’t help. It just adds to our burden. Jesus encourages us to take life one day at a time.

Meaning

Worrying about tomorrow can feel overwhelming. We often get caught up in what might happen. But Jesus reminds us that each day has its own challenges. When we stress about the future, we miss what’s happening right now. You might feel anxious about work, relationships, or health. That’s normal. But we need to remember that we can only handle today.

The idea here is to trust that God is in control. If we focus on today’s tasks, we can find peace. Each moment is a chance to grow and learn. Tomorrow will come with its own issues. We don’t need to carry that weight today. Let’s take a deep breath and trust that God will provide what we need in the moment.

Live It

Take a short walk outside and notice what’s around you.
When you feel anxiety creeping in, write down three things you’re grateful for.
Set a timer for five minutes to meditate or pray about today’s challenges.

Reflect & Pray

Reflect: What worries are you holding onto that you need to release? How can you trust God more with your future?
Pray: God, help me focus on today. I don’t want to carry tomorrow’s worries. I trust that you will guide me through each moment.
