Each day before I wake, I think, “Thank you, Lord for my  life.  Please grant me the strength to make it through the challenges Just for today”.  Each day  is delivered to us with its own set of blessings, however, each day dawns with its own special challenges too. What happens today will be different than what happens tomorrow or next week or next month.  So my prayer is…. “Lord, just give me the strength to make it through the challenges just for today.”

Therefore do not worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will worry about itself. Each day has enough trouble of its own.  Matthew 6:34 NIV

 

 

I like how Jesus says in the scripture above, EACH day has enough trouble of its own.  The very fact, that Jesus said EACH day, means every day we will have to face something. So don’t despair, when you go through trials, for these trials are God’s way of “perfecting” us ( James 1:2-3) and building endurance.  Life challenges make us strong.  And the stronger we are, the harder it is for the enemy to take us down.  Have you noticed that?  The trials that you have made it through, just make you stronger to endure and overcome the next trial that comes your way.

Hold on to your faith in the midst of what ever is happening today, Rest in Jesus’ words which tell us not to worry about tomorrow.  Just focus on today. It will present unique challenges for sure.  But know that challenges and hardships will one day end.  There will be a season of rest that will come.  Just take it one day at a time.  Ask God to grant you the grace that you need just for today.

I have told you all this so that you may have peace in me. Here on earth you will have many trials and sorrows. But take heart, because I have overcome the world.”   John 16:33 NLT
