When You Need to Trust God Will Take Care of Your Tomorrow
Lately I’ve spent a lot of time worrying about my tomorrow. I fear a dark cloud is looming over the horizon of my life, and I have no idea how to make the blue sky appear again.
A kind of cold prickly apprehension has crept into my soul and made me dread turning the calendar page to “what’s next.” I can’t control tomorrow, and I am not sure I can handle it. If only I knew what was coming next, I could prepare for it.
I’ve lost a lot over the last year. I miss what was, and I doubt I have the courage to press on into the shadowy future full of unknowns. More than once over the last month, I’ve prayed, “Lord, this is really hard, and I don’t like it.”
Maybe you can relate? If this past year was heavy on the disappointment and low on the sunshine, perhaps you are struggling to look ahead with anticipation. Instead your anxiety makes you want to reach for the antacid medication.
Rather than trust God with our tomorrow, we can waste a lot of time feeling uneasy about what we think may or may not happen. We spend way too much time imagining the worse case scenario and fear for our family, our health, and our finances. All the while, God is seated on the throne in heaven and has every detail planned out in advance. He sees what we cannot even begin to understand.
Maybe the Lord not letting us know what’s coming next because He knows we just aren’t ready to receive it. Instead of focusing on tomorrow, maybe He just wants us to give Him our all today.
I don’t think God wants us to live consumed by worry when we think about our future. After all, He is Lord over our yesterday, our today, and all our tomorrow. His grace never leaves us.
As we deal with the uncertainty of tomorrow, we can make a brave choice and yield our fears to the Lord and believe He will take care of all that concerns us.
Trust God will take care of Your tomorrow.
Remember your future is secure in God’s hands, and you don’t need to feel insecure about the unknown.
You don’t know what’s coming next, but God is very much in control. You have a a Good Father, and He is always acting on your behalf.
- Like the Psalmist you can pray in faith: “Lord, you give me stability and prosperity; you make my future secure.” (Psalm 16:5, NET) “Commit your future to the Lord. Trust in him, and He will act on your behalf.” (Psalm 37:5)
meditate on what God says is true instead of imagining a worst case scenario is coming.
Most of the terrible things you are worried about will never take place. Don’t let the enemy of your soul paralyze you and fill your mind with untruths. Arm yourself with HIs encouraging Truth.
- “You are my hiding place and my shield. I find hope in Your Word.” (Psalm 119:114, NET) ” Distress and hardship confront me. Yet I find delight in your commands.” (Psalm 119:143)
Move Forward in Faith and Don’t Give Way to Fear.
God will light the path before you one faith filled step at a time. Keep going, sister! The Lord Himself goes before you and has you covered.
- “Do not be afraid or discouraged, for the Lord will personally go ahead of you. He will be with you; He will neither fail you nor abandon you.” (Deuteronomy 31:8, NLT)

Jesus holds our tomorrow, and each day is full of hope.

Thank you so much, Lyli. Definitely needed to hear this today. ?
Lyli, it has been so long since we have been in touch! I was just looking through some of my old “Inner Views” interviews as I prepare to do another—the first in a long time, and I came across yours and was prompted to visit your blog. I am so thankful to see you are still blogging! I am so sorry to hear that you suffered a lot of losses and have been going through difficult times. I trust the Lord will sustain and bless you and turn things around for you. I really appreciated these words of encouragement this morning and needed them very much. May the Lord richly bless you and keep you, my friend.
