When thoughts of tomorrow come to mind, pray!


Joan Boney ... apostle/prophet

It is so important for us to take thoughts concerning tomorrow and what might happen tomorrow to God in prayer. 

These thoughts about tomorrow dart into our minds and then often vanish, leaving us a little troubled. 

If we can catch them and stop and pray immediately, letting  our requests about them be made known to God we can live in a peace unknown to people of this world.

Philippians 4:6-7   Be careful for nothing; but in every thing by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known unto God.
And the peace of God, which passeth all understanding, shall keep your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus.

Jesus said:

Matthew 6:33-34    But seek ye first the kingdom of God, and HIS righteousness; and all these things shall be added unto you.

(I believe that means daily asking God what HE wants you to do or say, what is "right" in HIS eyes.)

Take 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.

Often when we try to plan out tomorrow,  we even go in wrong direction with our plans.

Not only do we trouble ourselves needlessly but it doesn't work out anyway.

When thoughts of tomorrow come and we are troubled with what might happen, it is far better to simply stop and pray, pouring our heart out to God in prayer.

If we dread something scheduled for tomorrow, we might be going wrong direction.  When I have any dread at all, I usually stop and start praying, asking God to change my plan if it is wrong.  I have found God does just that, causing me to cancel the plan or to make other adjustments.
