Let each day take thought for what concerns it, liquidate its own
affairs, and respect the day which is to follow, and then it shall
be ready.
--Amiel.
What does your anxiety do? It does not empty to-morrow, brother, of
its sorrow; but ah! it empties to-day of its strength. It does not
make you escape the evil; it makes you unfit to cope with it if it
comes.
--Ian Maclaren.
Be not anxious for your life, what ye shall eat, or what ye shall
drink; nor yet for your body, what ye shall put on.
--Matthew 6. 25.
My Father, save me from the habit of borrowing. So often I borrow
trouble and cannot use it, when the peace that I possess is all that I
need. Help me, that I may not miss the glory of to-day, by
anticipating the uncertainty of to-morrow; but may I discern my place
and have delight in every day. Amen.
