 | Therefore do not worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will worry about itself. Each day has enough trouble of its own. |
 | 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. |
 | So do not worry about tomorrow; for tomorrow will care for itself. Each day has enough trouble of its own. |
| Matthew 6:34 |
Commentary
The believer's responsibility is to live for the Lord, trusting God for the future with unshakable confidence that He will provide. We are called to live one day at a time: tomorrow can worry about its own things.

Just as Matthew 6 is Jesus' great statement on worry, Philippians 4 is the Apostle Paul's charter on how to avoid anxiety. Those passages are the most comprehensive portions of Scripture dealing with our topic, and therefore are foundational to understanding how God feels about anxiety and why He feels that way. The teaching is clear, compelling, and direct. In Philippians 4:6-9, Paul issued these series of commands:
Be anxious for nothing, but in everything by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known to God. And the peace of God, which surpasses all comprehension, shall guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus.
