God has given us the strength we need for each day. Each day he has provided us with new mercies sufficient for the troubles of that day. We are not called to worry about tomorrow, in fact we are called to do the opposite. By worrying about tomorrow we are either not have any faith that God will provide us with the strength we need for tomorrow or we are neglecting today's trouble to worry about tomorrow. This does not mean we are not to plan ahead. What it means is that God is ultimately in control and we have enough to worry about for today then to worry about what is going to happen tomorrow.
"Meet today's problems with today's strength.
Don't start tackling tomorrow's problems until tomorrow.
You do not have tomorrow's strength yet.
You simply have enough for today."
-Max Lucado
If we had enough strength to handle our troubles several days in advance then we wouldn't need God. We would have no desire to meet with him every morning in order to hear from him and dedicate our day to him. This is why it is so important to meet with God on a daily basis, I recommend the morning. This is so that before you begin your day you can consult with God and commit the day which lies ahead to him. God has something to teach you each day. Why not meet with him and ask him what he has for you today.
Serve God one day at a time
