Jesus Commands His Followers to NOT Worry About Tomorrow

Worry definition, HERE. As if Jesus were speaking to further clarify, "This is not a suggestion, but a command. I divided time into days and nights, so that you will have manageable portions of life to handle. My grace is sufficient for you, but its sufficiency is for only one day at a time. When you worry about the future, you heap day upon day of troubles onto your flimsy frame. You stagger under the heavy load, which I never intended for you to carry.

Throw off this oppressive burden with one quick thrust of trust. Anxious thoughts meander about and crisscross in your brain, but trusting Me brings you directly into my Presence.  As you thus affirm your faith, shackles of worry fall of instantly. Enjoy my Presence continually by trusting Me at all times."

From the excellent devotional book, Jesus Calling..., by modern missionary Sarah Young.
