Don't Worry Pray

"Therefore do not worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will worry about itself.  Each day has enough trouble of its own."  Matthew 6:34 (NIV)

Jesus said to His disciples and the others in the multitude on the mountain, do not worry about the things that may happen tomorrow.  Each day has its own troubles and challenges which must be dealt with, without worrying about the possible problems that could arise tomorrow.

Nothing good ever comes out of worrying.  If there is some action that you can take to effect a situation, do it.  If there is nothing that you can do about it, then pray about it and don't worry about it.  We do not know what will happen tomorrow. (James 4:14)  Worrying about something which may or may not happen is pointless.  This is not to preclude thoughtful preparation for the future.  What is condemned is getting upset, anxious, or fretting about some possible future event.  Besides, tomorrow is not promised to us.  God is in control of everything and anything that happens to us is under His permissive will.  So, don't worry, pray.
