Matthew 6:34 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.
God, who is both wise and gracious, has ordered some trouble for you today. And every day of your life. Why would He do that? Because of what trouble will bring you.
We’ve been blessed with difficulties. Yes, you read right—blessed! The worst thing that could happen to us would be to have no difficulties at all. If that were the case, we’d never know our need of the Lord. So God in essence says, “I’m going to give you sufficient difficulty for the day.”
God gives you enough difficulty to draw you close to Him, but then He gives you enough grace to meet those difficulties every day.
Are there difficult circumstances in your life? If so, thank God for sending them your way to make you more like Jesus. Now ask for His grace to be victorious through those difficulties.

Acts 14:22 Confirming the souls of the disciples, and exhorting them to continue in the faith, and that we must through much tribulation enter into the kingdom of God.
Some encouraging passages:
1 Samuel 26:24 And, behold, as thy life was much set by this day in mine eyes, so let my life be much set by in the eyes of the LORD, and let him deliver me out of all tribulation.
Psalms 70:5 But I am poor and needy: make haste unto me, O God: thou art my help and my deliverer; O LORD, make no tarrying.
Written by a friend: You’ll find this humorous but it really is the principle I live by… because with “God all things are possible” & the Bible promises that “we can do all things through Christ which strengtheneth us” I do not have any difficulties nor problems… All I have as a Bible believing Christian is character building situations that “lack” a solution! So by faith I pray & wait on God to provide my solution. Now I’m Not vexed or depressed but excited to see What great miraculous dynamic things The LORD God Almighty will do!! And it will be done for His Glory alone.
