Worrying

Don't worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will bring its own worries. Today's trouble is enough for today.
Matthew 6:34

I have a bunch of assignments due this week, and I've had a mini-panic attack every time I think about "what's next". All day today I've struggled with the hardest computer programming I've ever encountered and I got distracted thinking about managing my time, telling myself to hurry up and finish so I can write my two papers. In my head, I sat myself down and told myself to stop... to stay focused on this, on what I was doing.

It is so easy to waste away a day thinking of what we have to do tomorrow when today is here and now. Worrying about what is next takes away from the tasks you're currently working on. School and homework are stressful, but focus on today before you worry about tomorrow. And who knows, you may find the time today to do a task you've scheduled for tomorrow.

Today's Prayer:
Dear God,
Please be with us this week as assignments get harder and our free time grows shorter. We thank you for everything you've blessed us with, we know how lucky we are. Help us to stay calm and focused, to be determined and motivated. Be with us, our families and loved ones and help us finish out our weeks.
Amen
