One Day at a Time

Life is never easy, and it seems getting more and more difficult nowadays. While my nickname is “Queen of Worry”, I reckon that there is a ground for this - it is the fallen world that embodies human’s fallen nature, which has no assurance of what is so-called a “worry-free” zone, because problems and troubles exist till our last breath (and very likely still exist after that, too).

As much as the Bible tells us not to worry because our Lord will take care of our need, it will only be part of our knowledge instead of part of our lives if we are not practicing this faith. Now then maybe I should remind myself of what I told the school kids the other day, “It’s always more difficult to form a good habit than to form a bad one. It often takes effort, determination, and perseverance to practice over and over again on something good, until it turns into a good habit and becomes part of our lives eventually.”

So, if worrying is a bad habit that I need to get rid of, I guess I definitely need to practice so at once, disregard what realities that the world is bringing from time to time. Maybe I should also tell myself that I should not be greedy, and put it into practice just one day at a time.

After all, this is as the Bible said, “Therefore do not worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will worry about itself. Each day has enough trouble of its own.” (Matthew 6:34)
