Worry: Day 4
“Today’s trouble is enough for today.”
Matthew 6:34 NRSV
Thought
When you grieve, worry is a natural reaction to questions you ask every day, such as “What should I do about . . .?” and “What will I do when . . . ?” You may worry about your health, your family, or your financial security. When the pain of grief is exacerbated by worry, every concern takes on larger than life importance, meaning, and significance. As you grieve, confront only today’s troubles. They are sufficient for today. There is hope for tomorrow.
Prayer
God, today’s trouble is indeed enough for today. I am grateful that you give me life for each new day. I know that in you there is relief from today’s trouble. Amen.
Assurance
Worry cannot resolve today’s trouble.
