boy do i need to live this.....

Don't you have your hands full with today? Don't you find yourself distracted from the urgent and important things of today when you worry about the problems of tomorrow? Don't you occasionally find yourself missing an opportunity today while thinking about all the possibilities down the road? Isn't it a waste of time to be anxious about those things over which you have no influence? There is so much going on in this country and in our lives that we have no control over. So why worry so much about tomorrow, and next week, and ...? Let's walk with God today and trust in his faithfulness for us tomorrow.

Holy God, give me the strength to seize the moment and live the life today that will please you and bless others. Help my heart feel the urgency of today and act with boldness, kindness, and salvation instead of worrying so much about what may happen tomorrow or next week. In Jesus' name I pray. Amen.
