I was reading C.S. Lewis' Screwtape Letters, the other day and a paragraph talking about our need to ask God for our daily bread stood out to me. As many people know, I am impatient when it comes to the future. I want answers now, and I worry about the days to come. There are many unknowns right now... should I go back to school? what sort of job should I get? And there are family issues that are a huge weight on my heart. But Lewis was describing how we need to pray for just today's bread. It reminded me of Matthew 6:34: "Therefore do not worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will worry about itself. Each day has enough trouble of its own." So today I was challenged with the idea that God will give us our daily bread... not bread for today and tomorrow, but enough for today. And that I need to trust that it is both enough and that he will provide again tomorrow.
