       The Apostle Paul gives us a good rule to go by. He said in Philippians 4:6-7: “do not be anxious about anything, but in everything by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known to God. And the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus” (ESV). If you read the verse correctly, God says here that we are not to worry about anything—anything at all. This verse, undoubtedly, is very hard to comprehend in its true essence. I don’t think any of us practice it; I know I have failed in practicing it. But we should take seriously what this verse says and thereby live in freedom. Jesus gives us this encouragement: “do not be anxious about tomorrow, for tomorrow will be anxious for itself. Sufficient for the day is its own trouble” (Matthew 6:34, ESV). We should live one day at a time. This blocks out any worry for possibilities of trouble tomorrow.
