Do not be weighed down by the clutter in your life: lots of little chores to do sometime, in no particular order. If you focus too much on these petty tasks, trying to get them all out of the way, you will discover that they are endless. They can eat up as much time as you devote to them.
Instead of trying to do all your chores at once, choose the ones that need to be done today. Let the rest slip into the background of your mind, so I can be in the forefront of your awareness. Remember that your ultimate goal is living close to Me, being responsive to My initiatives. I can communicate with you most readily when your mind is uncluttered and turned toward Me. Seek My Face continually throughout this day. Let My Presence bring order to your thoughts, infusing Peace into your entire being.
Commit to the Lord whatever you do, and your plans will succeed. —Proverbs 16:3
“But seek first his kingdom and his righteousness, and all these things will be given to you as well.” —Matthew 6:33

Have you ever been up all night because thoughts about tomorrow, next week and next year keep running through your head? That was me last night! Today God tells us that we shall not be focusing on these petty tasks because they are a never ending loop of stress. Instead we are to focus on one day at a time and ask Him to control our mind, putting only what is important at the forefront.
