Today’s Anxiety

Is today’s anxiety enough for you, or would you like some more anxieties?
Most of us do not go around looking for more problems to be anxious about in our lives. The anxieties we experience on any given day are enough. We usually do not go around looking for more trouble.
In the Gospel of Matthew, Jesus said, “Therefore 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).
The trouble and anxiety of the day is sufficient for us to tackle in that day. We do not need to add any more anxiety. Since any one day has a sufficient anxiety load, we should not go looking for the additional troubles of the future.
May we be at peace and content to live fully into the day before us and resist adding additional anxieties of the days ahead.
A Collect for Guidance: “Heavenly Father, in you we live and move and have our being: We humbly pray you so to guide and govern us by your Holy Spirit, that in all the cares and occupations of our life we may not forget you, but may remember that we are ever walking in your sight; through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen.” (Book of Common Prayer, 2019).
