Saturday Prayer: Unknown Tomorrows

Father, I'm seven days into November and already uncertain about what the rest holds. Will my plans work? Will my intentions survive? Will the month go as hoped or collapse into disappointment like so many months before? I don't know. I can't know. The future is opaque.

This uncertainty makes me anxious. I want control, predictability, assurance that my planning will work. But you're teaching me that I don't need to know tomorrow. I need to trust you with tomorrow. You give grace for today. When tomorrow becomes today, you'll give grace for that too.

Help me stop borrowing tomorrow's troubles. Each day has sufficient challenges without adding imagined future ones. What I face today is enough. You're sufficient for today. That's all I need to know. I don't know tomorrow. I know you. That's better.
