  - Welcome to the divine five one five podcast.
• 0:16
  - Here is today's prayer.
• 0:23
  - Hello, and welcome to daily prayers with Valerie
• 0:26
  - Rocha.
• 0:27
  - Today's prayer focus, we're talking about how to
• 0:30
  - trust God with tomorrow.
• 0:32
  - Scripture text comes from Matthew six thirty four
• 0:35
  - and says, therefore do not worry about tomorrow
• 0:38
  - for tomorrow will worry about itself.
• 0:43
  - Well, you know, sometimes we're physically living in
• 0:45
  - today while mentally
• 0:47
  - living three weeks from now.
• 0:50
  - What if this happens?
• 0:52
  - What if that doesn't work? And what if
• 0:54
  - I don't have enough?
• 0:57
  - And
• 0:58
  - what if something goes wrong?
• 1:01
  - We have literally worked ourself into a toothy
• 1:04
  - and tomorrow hasn't even arrived, but we're already
• 1:08
  - carrying its weight.
• 1:11
  - Now it's not that planning is bad, it's
• 1:14
  - actually quite wise.
• 1:17
  - But
• 1:18
  - when planning becomes worry,
• 1:20
  - then worry tries to make us emotional to
• 1:22
  - solve situations that haven't happened.
• 1:26
  - Jesus
• 1:27
  - brings our attention back to today.
• 1:30
  - He reminds us about today's grace
• 1:34
  - and how it's sufficient for us, today's strength,
• 1:37
  - which God gives us when we give him
• 1:39
  - our cares and our worries,
• 1:41
  - today's
• 1:42
  - responsibilities because he can handle anything that's presented
• 1:45
  - to him.
• 1:48
  - When your mind races into tomorrow,
• 1:52
  - bring it back with prayer.
• 1:57
  - It's completely okay to say, father, give me
• 2:00
  - what I need for today, which is
• 2:03
  - part of the Lord's prayer that is like
• 2:05
  - a multivitamin and carries.
• 2:08
  - Every
• 2:09
  - weight covers every aspect of
• 2:12
  - what we're facing
• 2:13
  - in today's life and world.
• 2:16
  - You can plan for tomorrow
• 2:18
  - without caring tomorrow.
• 2:21
  - Why? Because God will meet you there when
• 2:24
  - you arrive.
• 2:26
  - That being said,
• 2:28
  - put tomorrow's worries on the throne today
• 2:32
  - and
• 2:33
  - let's go before the throne.
• 2:36
  - Father God, keep us from carrying tomorrow before
• 2:38
  - it comes.
• 2:40
  - Give us wisdom for today's responsibilities and peace
• 2:43
  - about what remains ahead.
• 2:46
  - When our thoughts race into the future,
• 2:49
  - father, bring us back to your presence and
• 2:51
  - the grace
• 2:53
  - you've given
• 2:54
  - us for today.
• 2:56
  - And we will bless you in Jesus name.
• 3:00
  - Well, today's kingdom invitation is
• 3:04
  - that when you catch yourself worrying about tomorrow,
• 3:08
  - challenge yourself by asking,
• 3:10
  - is there something I need to do today?

• 3:14
  - if you prioritize
• 3:16
  - and think about how important is this gonna
• 3:19
  - be
• 3:20
  - a month or even five years from now.
• 3:23
