MY GRACE IS SUFFICIENT FOR You, but its sufficiency is for one day at a time.
Dear Jesus, We desperately need to learn how to live in the present moment. Our minds so easily slip into the future, where worries abound. We also spend way too much time analyzing things in the past. Meanwhile, splendors of the present moment parade before us and we are too preoccupied to notice. Part of the problem is our tendency to strive for self-sufficiency. Help us learn to rest in Your sufficiency, depending on You more and more. Amen.
Beloved, you need My grace in order to live in the present. Grace is all about My provision for you, and accepting that goes against the grain of your natural tendencies. Do you really believe My grace is sufficient for you? If so, then it makes sense to stop your anxious striving.
My grace is indeed sufficient for every situation you will ever encounter. However, you must learn to receive My provisions by looking to Me continually.
Each day you face a number of situations requiring My help. Moment by moment, I proffer to you the needed assistance. Your part is to recognize your neediness and receive what I offer. My Presence is with you always, providing everything you need. Don't worry about tomorrow's needs. My sufficiency is for one day at a time - today!
- Jesus

But he said to me, "My grace is sufficient for you, for my power is made perfect in weakness." Therefore I will boast all the more gladly about my weaknesses, so that Christ's power may rest on me.
