He Speaks to the Fear You Haven't Felt Yet

In Matthew 6:31–34,
Jesus urges His listeners
not to worry
about what they'll eat,
drink, or wear.

Then He says
something even more startling:

"Do not worry about tomorrow,
for tomorrow will worry about itself.
Each day has enough trouble
of its own."

Jesus doesn't deny
that trouble exists.
He names it.

But He also draws a boundary
around it:
today's trouble
belongs to today.

You may not know this about Jesus:
He speaks to the fear
you haven't felt yet.

He knows how easily
we drift into imagined futures,
rehearsing worst-case scenarios
and stockpiling anxiety.

So He calls us back —
not to denial,
but to trust.

Tomorrow will come.
But so will grace.

And Jesus promises
that when it does,
the Father will be there too.

Where am I rehearsing tomorrow
when today
still has grace enough
to carry me?
