“Therefore do not worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will worry about itself. Each day has enough trouble of its own” (Matthew 6:34).
Those who have so many reasons to rejoice and yet still choose to cling to sadness and irritation are disregarding the gifts of God. Even when life brings some difficulties, there are still countless blessings we can recognize—the light of this new day, the breath of life, the chance to start over. If God sends us joys, we should receive them with gratitude; if He allows trials, we should face them with patience and trust. After all, only today is in our hands. Yesterday has already passed, and tomorrow has not yet come. Carrying the fears and pains of several days in a single thought is an unnecessary burden that only steals the peace of the soul.
But there is something even more essential: if we want this day to truly be filled with blessings, deliverance, peace, and guidance from above, we need to walk according to the powerful Law of God. The soul that seeks the Lord’s favor must abandon sin and strive to obey the amazing commandments of the Creator, the same ones He gave to His people with love and wisdom. It is this sincere obedience that shows the Father we desire His presence and the salvation He offers. And when the Father sees this true desire in someone’s heart, He sends them to His Son, Jesus, so that they may receive forgiveness, transformation, and eternal life.
Therefore, do not waste another day with complaints, guilt, or fears about the future. Surrender yourself today to God’s will, follow His ways with faithfulness, and let Him fill your life with meaning. The heavens are ready to pour out blessings on those who walk according to His will. Choose to obey, and you will see the power of the Lord at work—delivering, healing, and leading you to Jesus. -Adapted from Jeremy Taylor. Until tomorrow, if the Lord allows us.
Pray with me: Lord my God, I thank You for this new day You have set before me. Even in the midst of struggles, I recognize that I have many reasons to rejoice. Deliver me, Father, from wasting this day with complaints or with the weight of worries that do not belong to me. Teach me to live in the present with gratitude, to rest in Your faithfulness, and to trust that everything You allow has a greater purpose.
Give me, Lord, an obedient heart, willing to follow Your ways sincerely. I know that Your blessings are not separate from Your will, and that only those who submit to Your commandments with love experience true deliverance and peace. Help me to walk according to Your powerful Law, rejecting all that displeases You. May my life be living proof that I desire to please and honor You. Lead me, Father, to Your beloved Son, so that through Him I may receive forgiveness, transformation, and salvation.
Oh, Most Holy God, I worship and praise You for Your mercy that is renewed every morning, for Your patience with me, and for Your faithful promises. You are my constant hope and my sure help. Your beloved Son is my eternal Prince and Savior. Your powerful Law is like a river of justice that purifies and sustains the soul. Your commandments are like stars in the sky—firm, beautiful, and full of guidance. I pray in the precious name of Jesus, amen.
