b'Do you often think about what is to come\\u2026tomorrow, next week, or\\nnext year?\\nNone of us know what is to come. It\\u2019s up to God to know. He holds the\\nfuture, and He will be with us when we get there. We can trust Him because\\nHe\\u2019s good, and \\u201cHis faithful love endures forever\\u201d (Psalm 136:1). As we\\nrely on God and follow Jesus, we don\\u2019t have to worry about the future.\\nInstead, we can be free to focus on the present.\\nIf we take a look at our lives, we might start to notice some of the ways\\nGod is blessing us right now. Let\\u2019s not forget to enjoy these good moments\\nbecause we are too focused on the future.\\nLet\\u2019s not miss out on the good things happening right now because we are\\nconsumed with thoughts about what could happen later. For example, the\\npeople who are in our lives now might not be with us tomorrow. Perhaps God\\nhas put them here now for a reason. We can ask God to help us see what\\nopportunities He is giving us, and we can rely on His strength to focus on\\nbeing present where He has placed us.\\nEvery blessing comes from God, and we can praise Him for giving us so many\\ngood things (Ephesians 1:3; James 1:17). We can also thank Him for the\\npromise that He will be with us in the future (Hebrews 13:5). Since Jesus\\ndied and rose from the dead for us, nothing can separate us from God\\u2019s love\\n(Romans 8:38-39). And because of that, we have nothing to worry about. \\u2022\\nBethany Acker\\n\\u2022 God is powerful, and He loves us. If we\\u2019ve put our trust in Jesus, we can\\nknow that He will be with us no matter what. How might these truths give\\nyou comfort as you look toward the future? \\n\\u2022 What about the future is exciting to you? What are you concerned about?\\nYou can bring all these things to Jesus in prayer. He loves to listen to\\nyou, and He will guide you as you seek Him. \\n\\u2022 Do you ever have a hard time focusing on the present? When worries about\\nthe future feel overwhelming, who could you talk to\\u2014such as a parent,\\ncounselor, pastor, or friend? \\nThis is the day the Lord has made; let\\u2019s rejoice and be glad in it.
