Therefore do not be anxious, saying, ‘What shall we eat?’ or ‘What shall we drink?’ or ‘What shall we wear?’ For the Gentiles seek after all these things, and your heavenly Father knows that you need them all. But seek first the kingdom of God and his righteousness, and all these things will be added to you. “Therefore do not be anxious about tomorrow, for tomorrow will be anxious for itself.
Sufficient for the day is its own trouble.
Over thinking a troubling concern can often create more anxiety and its accompanying mental health issues, than the matter that is hanging over us. There is a time for everything when understanding that some of our challenges need time, as well as our constructive input to resolve, encouraging each of us never to become over concerned when it is clear that our patient handling of burdensome matters requires wise planning leading us to the solution in due time.
It has been said that timing is everything,
especially when The Author of our life asks us to let Him provide us with all that He promises us, per His timing.
Don't give up when things get rough. Everything works out in due time. ~ Anon
It has been my experience that life sends us challenges to grow us out of our self indulgent belief that we are comfortable and contented as we are, the result of our earlier life when we made the effort necessary to provide us with all that we have today. Life also teaches us that there is a beginning, and an end to that which we take for granted too easily.
I have learnt that life also has its way of teaching us that it will decide when it is time for us to receive our next lesson, followed by the rewards that grow out of cooperating with The Father's plan for our life.
All the questions that we would want Our Father to answer...in due time He will, but for the mean time, trust Him by following His wise guidance speaking in the heart of every human person.
“Almost certainly God is not in time. His life does not consist of moments one following another...Ten-thirty-- and every other moment from the beginning of the world--is always Present for Him. If you like to put it this way, He has all eternity in which to listen to the split second of prayer put up by a pilot as his plane crashes in flames.”
― C.S. Lewis, Mere Christianity
