God's Prescription for a Healthy LifeSample

To Be Healthy, Focus on Today

Matthew 6:11 says, “Give us today our daily bread” (NIV).

Notice the Bible doesn’t say, “Give us today our weekly bread” or “Give us today our yearly bread.”  

God wants you to trust him one day at a time. You don’t need to be concerned about tomorrow until tomorrow. You don’t need to be concerned about next week until next week.

This means you don’t have to stress about all the future steps necessary to make you strong. You just need to focus on what you need to do for today. You can focus on succeeding at getting healthy one day at a time.

Jesus said, “So don’t worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will bring its own worries. Today’s trouble is enough for today” (Matthew 6:34 NLT).
