Do not worry

Therefor do not worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will worry 
about itself. Each day has enough trouble of its own.
Matthew 6:34

The book of Matthew chapter 6: 25-34 deals with worrying and overcoming this worry. As the days continue to grow more and more stress full I find this chapter comforting. My biggest problem is worrying and stressing over things, instead of just putting it into the hands of God. 

I worry for the days ahead, just as I am sure many others do. But it states it black and white in Matthew 6, Do not worry for tomorrow. God is already in your tomorrow. He is there waiting for you to call upon Him and give your worry, stress, fear, grief, and everything else to Him. Each day will bring a new trouble to your life. In that trouble is a reward. When we overcome that worry and truly give it to God, He gives us joy, happiness, peace, hope and Love. 

That is not to say that there wont still be struggle and worry in your life if you give it all to God. I will not give you that false hope of total joy and happiness all the days of your life. God never promised us that this life would be easy. He promised that it would be possible. 

Jesus looked at them and said, "With man this is impossible, 
but with God all things are possible."
Matthew 19:26

Trying to handle everything on our own is an impossible task. Putting all that stress, worry and fear on our own shoulders is impossible. But if we give that to God, it is made possible. We are able to endure all that life throws at it and we can overcome the world! We can face tomorrow and grow in our strength with God.

I can do all things through Christ who Strengthens me! 
Philippians 4:13

God gives us strength to face another day. Even when it feels like the stress and worry is consuming you, God builds that fire in your heart and gives you the perseverance to continue on. Do not let that worry become your life. Do not let that fear become your story of regret.. Give it to God. Let Him be what consumes your life. Let Him take the fear and worry and throw it in the pit of fire. 

Anything is possible with God. The strength to face a new day comes from Him. He can be that rock you stand upon. If you only let Him in. Give it to God! 

God bless <3
