“I believe that God will give us all the strength we need to help us resist in all time of distress. But God never gives it in advance, lest we should rely on ourselves and not on God alone. A faith such as this should allay our fears for the future.” - Dietrich Bonhoeffer, Letters and Papers from Prison
God does not command us to pray for tomorrow's bread, but today's. He does not require tomorrow's faith today. He commands us not to spend our faith in worry and anxiety about tomorrow's troubles, but to be faithful in our present circumstances, resisting the urge to go into debt over tomorrow's costs.
