Tomorrow’s Troubles – Lectio Divina

February 27, 2011 By Jean Wise

“So do not worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will bring worries of its own. Today’s trouble is enough for today. Matthew 6:34


Today’s trouble is enough for today.
Trouble filled my world this week, Lord
Worries about the future.
Canceling much-anticipated plans.
Heaviness with unexpected change and new responsibilities.
Yet I feel Your presence as I walk through each day.
You whispered to me this morning, “Don’t worry about tomorrow. I will be with you.”
Thank you Lord.
The weight of the future lifts from my heart because Your heart holds each coming day.
The tension from my shoulders and neck relaxes with Your tender touch.

As I peek out the window to the coming week, I know all time is in Your hands.
No matter what troubles bubble up tomorrow or the next day or the next – I will keep my eyes on You, not the difficulties.
You hold the future, Lord.  And that does not worry me at all.

    Hi Lisa, glad you commented. This verse has reminded so much that God is in control. I need to hear that often

    I do not know what my future holds, but I know who holds my future. Amen! I love that verse – God is in control.

    Oh, Michelle what a neat memory with this verse. and what a legacy to leave: knowing a verse from the Bible symbolized her life. Makes you wonder, doesn’t it, what Bible Verse would remind our loved ones of us. I will have to ponder that one.

    Thanks for your comment

    Love this verse, Jean. Even more so now that I remember the minister preaching on it for my mother-in-law’s funeral. And she lived these words. Thank you.

    Thanks Colleen. It is a good image: God holding our future isn’t it?

    I needed this. Love the ending – You hold the future, Lord. And that does not worry me at all.

    Karen, yes that is little Kyla peeking out the window. when I saw the photo I thought of this as I try to peek out the window into the future…

    Agree with all of you but so hard to let go and trust at times, isn’t it?

    “Your heart holds each coming day.” Lovely, Jeanie, and so true.

    Reading with tears in my eyes. We trust Him, though, for He holds our days. Love you.

    Oh, Jeanie, I’m disappointed, too, but I know God is all-wise.

    Is that your darling little one? Great pic!

    Wonderful post Jean, and one of my favorite verses. May we all freely cast our worries for tomorrow at His Feet, as He is ever-faithful.

    Have a Blessed Day!
