"What If"

“What If”


Matthew 6:34
Therefore, do not worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will worry about its own things. Sufficient for the day is its own trouble.

Sometimes I wake up in the middle of the night and can’t sleep. Try as I may, sleep does not come. I toss and turn, squirm and sweat and watch the clock. My mind goes to the “what if’s” about tomorrow or next week. It doesn’t matter what day, all I can think about is what I am worried about for the future. Am I the only one who does this? I think not! Maybe you worry about your children, other family members or future events. The Bible says not to worry. We should pray instead. Of course, you and I know this, but, NO, being human---we worry. Jesus said what we have committed to Him, He is able to keep unto that day. Did you know that along with tomorrow’s troubles Jesus also gives daily strength and supply? Have you committed all of your worries to Him? When you wake up in the middle of the night, try prayer first. Pray with a thankful attitude. You will be surprised how much more rest and sleep you will get. Most of the time what you are most worried about never takes place. Let tomorrow take care of it’s self. Only prayer can change it anyway. Jesus is the only one that can do anything about today or tomorrow. He is the same---always!

Today look at all your worries and assess them. Give them over to Jesus. Let all burdens roll over on Him. When we share them with Jesus the burdens lighten up and they transfer from worry---to trust. Trust in Him.
