Doesn’t each day have its share of challenges? The key to tranquility is to face today’s problems and no more. To treat each day like a self-contained unit. Meet today’s problems with God’s strength. But don’t start tackling tomorrow’s problems until tomorrow. You do not have tomorrow’s strength yet.
When tomorrow’s problems surface, write them down and mentally drive them into a parking garage and leave them there. Don’t over-stress your coping skills. Give yourself permission to say, “I’ll solve this one tomorrow. Each day is a fresh start so I will start fresh in the morning.” Shut the gate on yesterday; don’t touch the gate on tomorrow. You only have today – live in it.
