b'Sometimes, thinking about the future makes me feel stressed. I can get caught up trying to figure out what I\\u2019m going to do, and I can miss out on a lot.One of the most important things I can miss out on when I\\u2019m only thinking about the future is the present. I might not notice the ways God is already working in my life. And if I am so focused on the future that I don\\u2019t see the present, I will have a hard time trusting God.Why? Because I will not see the work He is doing right now.But when I slow down and look for signs of God working in my life in the present, I\\u2019m reminded that I can trust Him to continue to work in the future. When I don\\u2019t let myself focus on the here and now, fear starts to take over for me. Worries\\u2014about what might happen, what I should do, what I shouldn\\u2019t do\\u2014pile on top of each other. It\\u2019s easy to forget that God already knows the future, and He will be working out His good purposes then\\u2014just as He is now.God does so much in my life each day. As I pay attention to how He is caring for my needs, guiding me, and helping me grow, I am reminded that I don\\u2019t need to figure out how He is going to work in the future. As I look ahead, I can have confidence because I know that God will be with me. \\u2022 Emily Acker\\u2022 Do you ever feel stressed when you think about the future?

But if we\\u2019ve put our trust in Jesus, we can know that He will always be with us and nothing can separate us from His love (Romans 8:28-39). How might this truth give you hope? \\u2022 How have you noticed God working recently?
