I am having problems with trying to map a plan with my next year or so in life so to speak.. I am having trouble deciding life situations like my living situations, my school, future work, etc... I know i am overwhelming myself by thinking of 90 things at a time but that's how i have always been. I almost feel like if i don't have some kind of plan i panic more. Lately my mind on what to do has been all over the place. The medical care in N.Y. is getting horrible and almost worthless in a lot of aspects. I have a friend in Georgia that tells me she is getting treated very well from her doctors. But I know i do not want to leave my kids behind for many reasons. then we have my back being a pain that one week seems to be okay then the next is in a major flare and back and forth. so when I feel good i am like yes i can do anything. then it flares up or goes out and I am like Lord please I can't bare this or barely move.. I just need prayers that maybe I can get some help from the Lord to figure things out and make me at least feel less anxious... p.s. I have been trying to quit smoking again for the thousandth time ughhh It has been 4 days and I have cheated about 5 times or so .... my husband has no interest in quitting and will smoke around me so it is making it very difficult plus the stress I am feeling. I pray i just make it this time I am using a app. to track my smoking so maybe that will help me follow through this time...
Jesus certainly taught to do one day at a time by trusting God as your Father to take care of you & your tomorrows.
Matthew 6:[SUP]25 [/SUP]Therefore I say unto you, 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?[SUP] 26 [/SUP]Behold 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?[SUP] 27 [/SUP]Which of you by taking thought can add one cubit unto his stature?[SUP] 28 [/SUP]And why take ye thought for raiment? Consider the lilies of the field, how they grow; they toil not, neither do they spin:[SUP] 29 [/SUP]And yet I say unto you, That even Solomon in all his glory was not arrayed like one of these.[SUP] 30 [/SUP]Wherefore, 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?[SUP] 31 [/SUP]Therefore take no thought, saying, What shall we eat? or, What shall we drink? or, Wherewithal shall we be clothed?[SUP] 32 [/SUP](For after all these things do the Gentiles seek
for your heavenly Father knoweth that ye have need of all these things.[SUP] 33 [/SUP]But seek ye first the kingdom of God, and his righteousness; and all these things shall be added unto you.[SUP]34 [/SUP]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.
James kinda touched on doing things one day at a time and when making plans for tomorrow, just leave it to God as only He can bring it about.
James 4:[SUP]13 [/SUP]Go to now, ye that say, To day or to morrow we will go into such a city, and continue there a year, and buy and sell, and get gain:[SUP] 14 [/SUP]Whereas ye know not what shall be on the morrow. For what is your life? It is even a vapour, that appeareth for a little time, and then vanisheth away.[SUP] 15 [/SUP]For that ye ought to say, If the Lord will, we shall live, and do this, or that.[SUP] 16 [/SUP]But now ye rejoice in your boastings: all such rejoicing is evil.[SUP] 17 [/SUP]Therefore to him that knoweth to do good, and doeth it not, to him it is sin.
I need to rely on the Lord all the time to help me be content, to keep me from my sins, to do good, and leave the problems of tomorrows in His hands.
