day no. 16,420: worry always kills its martyrs a day in advance

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

We often place more faith in tomorrow's troubles than we do in today's provision.

Matthew 6:11
Give us this day our daily bread

We pray for today's bread and worry about tomorrow's, but we have faith enough in tomorrow's troubles today. We lack no doubt when it comes to tomorrow's doubts. We are consumed like fire by our faith in tomorrow's trials. Worry always kills its martyrs one day in advance. 

We have more faith in tomorrow's trouble than in tomorrow's bread. We don't worry that God will forget to send trials, but we worry that He might overlook our well-being.
