Today's thought from the Hazelden Betty Ford Foundation is:Therefore do not be anxious about tomorrow, for tomorrow will be anxious for itself.--Matthew 6:34To worry about something ahead of time is a waste of time and energy that could be better spent on living a full life today. For instance, if we spend hours today worrying about an important test at school tomorrow, we can't very well concentrate on studying. And if we lie awake tonight agonizing over what we don't know or haven't studied, we're going to be exhausted tomorrow when we take the test. Wouldn't it be much better to focus on doing all we can today to prepare for the test, and then, knowing we've done our best, let go of it tonight and get a good night's sleep? In fact, if we do that every day of the year, when a big test comes along, we'll know we're as ready as we can be, and won't have a thing to worry about. What a relief it is to know we've done our best today and every day.What can I do well today so I won't worry about it tomorrow?
