Control the Moment You’re In
Most anxiety doesn’t live in the present.
It lives five steps ahead.
We worry about conversations that haven’t happened.
Outcomes we can’t control.
Problems that may never come.
Jesus addressed this head-on:
“Do not worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will worry about itself.”
— Matthew 6:34
The Stoics trained themselves to live in the moment they were given.
Not yesterday.
Not tomorrow.
This one.
Scripture agrees—but adds trust.
You don’t control tomorrow.
You don’t fix yesterday.
But you do have responsibility for the moment you’re standing in right now.
Faith isn’t about solving your whole life at once.
It’s about obedience in the next right step.
Stay here.
Breathe.
Do what’s in front of you.
That’s enough for today.
Today’s Practice
When your mind runs ahead, bring it back.
Ask: What is required of me right now?
Then do only that.
Closing Prayer
Lord, anchor me in the present moment. Help me trust You with tomorrow while I remain faithful today. Give me peace where my feet are. Amen.
