Do you have a problem today? Part 1 ...

Joan Boney ... apostle/prophet

When we consider our problems, most of those problems are problems in future not today. 

Do I have any problem today?  No, I don't.  I have food, raiment ... everything I need.  I have no problem today.

Consider yourself.  Do you have any problem today.  If so, that is what you need to deal with through prayer and appropriate actions.

By thinking about it, can you grow one inch taller.  (That is what Jesus is saying in Mt. 6 when HE exhorts us to take no thought for tomorrow.)

And Jesus tells us God knows our needs.  And Paul explains God will supply all our needs.

So when we think of what might happen and what we might need tomorrow, we need to put on the brakes, turn to God in prayer committing the fear of tomorrow to HIM.  And then focus on today.  But deal with today prayerfully.
 
Jesus said ...Take no thought for your life, what ye shall eat, or what ye shall drink; nor yet for your body, what ye shall put on. Is not the life more than meat, and the body than raiment? 26Behold the fowls of the air: for they sow not, neither do they reap, nor gather into barns; yet your heavenly Father feedeth them. Are ye not much better than they? 27 Which of you by taking thought can add one cubit unto his stature? 28And why take ye thought for raiment? Consider the lilies of the field, how they grow; they toil not, neither do they spin: 29And yet I say unto you, That even Solomon in all his glory was not arrayed like one of these. 30Wherefore, if God so clothe the grass of the field, which to day is, and to morrow is cast into the oven, shall he not much more clothe you, O ye of little faith? 31Therefore take no thought, saying, What shall we eat? or, What shall we drink? or, Wherewithal shall we be clothed? 32(For after all these things do the Gentiles seek:) for your heavenly Father knoweth that ye have need of all these things. 33But seek ye first the kingdom of God, and his righteousness; and all these things shall be added unto you. 34Take therefore no thought for the morrow: for the morrow shall take thought for the things of itself. Sufficient unto the day is the evil thereof. Mt 6

My God shall supply all your need... Phil. 4:19


So step 1 is to focus on today, not tomorrow.
