Matthew 6:34
³⁴ Therefore do not worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will worry about itself. Each day has enough trouble of its own.

It was late at night, and I was trying to go to sleep. But, there was something that was playing on my mind.
How do I go forward with this?
Do I do this or that?
Which could lead to… , but then do I do this or that, which could lead to …
And so it went on. 😦

I’d recognised that I wasn’t able to sleep, as my mind was just in a whirl, all of it’s own. So I got up, and went to the toilet, as I was coming back, I just asked something like,
“Please Lord, can I get some sleep?”

Then the smallest of thoughts, comes to me.
“Tomorrow, is for tomorrow.”

So I go back to bed, and then the whirlwind starts up again.
Only this time, I have something to combat it with. I quietly, and gently, try to focus on the small thought, that I’d just been given.
“Tomorrow, is for tomorrow.”

I’d like to say that it was easy, it wasn’t.
I’d like to say that it was quick, it wasn’t.
But slowly, the whirlwind quietened down, as I tried to calmly focus on the simple thought of, “Tomorrow, is for tomorrow.”
And I was then able to find the sleep, that I was so desperately searching for.
