Keep your eyes on Me! Waves of adversity are washing over you, and you feel tempted to give up. As your circumstances consume more and more of your attention, you are losing sight of Me. Yet I am with you always, holding you by your right hand. I am fully aware of your situation, and I will not allow you to be tempted beyond what you are able to bear.
Your gravest danger is worrying about tomorrow. If you try to carry tomorrow’s burdens today, you will stagger under the load and eventually fall flat. You must discipline yourself to live within the boundaries of today. It is in the present moment that I walk close to you, helping you carry your burdens. Keep your focus on My Presence in the present.
Yet I am always with you; you hold me by my right hand. —Psalm 73:23
No temptation has seized you except what is common to man. And God is faithful; he will not let you be tempted beyond what you can bear. But when you are tempted, he will also provide a way out so that you can stand up under it. —1 Corinthians 10

Stop thinking about the future. God is the only one who knows what our future holds, so why waste time thinking about something we cannot change right now? If we keep our eyes on God and let ourselves feel Him holding our hand, we will be able to handle anything that the present or future brings us. God promises that He will not give us more than we can bear. Meditate on that. Everything that we feel is difficult, God knows that we can overcome. He does not want us to fail.
Live within today and let God take care of tomorrow.
