I receive e-mails from inspirationdaily.  When I read one of the many messages from them, it reminded me of a conversation from Bible Study earlier today and about the messages from the Summit over the last month.  Give us this day our daily bread from the Lord's Prayer was the first thought that came to mind as I read the following:

Two Days We Should Not Worry
There are two days in every week about which we should not worry,
  two days which should be kept free from fear and apprehension.

One of these days is Yesterday with all its mistakes and cares,
  its faults and blunders, its aches and pains.

Yesterday has passed forever beyond our control.
  All the money in the world cannot bring back Yesterday.

We cannot undo a single act we performed;
  we cannot erase a single word we said.
Yesterday is gone forever.

The other day we should not worry about is Tomorrow
  with all its possible adversities, its burdens,
its large promise and its poor performance;
  Tomorrow is also beyond our immediate control.

Tomorrow's sun will rise,
  either in splendor or behind a mask of clouds, but it will rise.
Until it does, we have no stake in Tomorrow,
  for it is yet to be born.

This leaves only one day, Today.
  Any person can fight the battle of just one day.
It is when you and I add the burdens of those two awful eternities
  Yesterday and Tomorrow that we break down.

It is not the experience of Today that drives a person mad,
  it is the remorse or bitterness of something which happened
Yesterday and the dread of what Tomorrow may bring.

  Let us, therefore, Live but one day at a time.

It is so true.  Today is all I am promised and all that I should worry about.  Why then is it so hard for me to grasp this.  I am continually thinking that I can do this, that, and whatever tomorrow, but I am not promised tomorrow.  Today might be my last day on Earth, and in case it is, I should make sure that my focus is on today and what I can do for God today!

I saw this on Felisha's site and decided to try it.
