A friend told me recently, that when his loved one was seriously ill, one of the biggest battles they had to fight was the battle with "What if". It is so easy to let our minds wander to pictures of the worst case examples of our particular disease. And it is a daily fight.
How important the words of Jesus in Matthew 6:34 have become to me lately. "So do not worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will bring worries of its own. Today's trouble is enough for today." He preceded this with a reminder of how God takes care of all creation, and would certainly take care of us.
What seems so simply said becomes profoundly true as we test it out in our lives. As E. Stanley Jones used to put it, "We need to live in day-tight compartments."
