Matthew 6:34

Matthew 6:34
   "Therefore, do not worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will worry about itself. Each day has enough trouble of its own."

This should be my life quote. So much of my time is spend day dreaming, planning, and worrying. And one vital thing is always missing from these day dreams and plans, God. I'm thinking of MY plan, not his. If I would just write this verse on my heart, and keep it in mind, I would save myself a lot of hurt. I would probably sleep better and be much less stressed. I wouldn't be disappointed when my big plans fall through, because I would be focusing on God's big plans. As stated in "The Shack", God lives in the present, not in the future, and so should we (a very rough paraphrase). I mean, yes He is in the future, but like I said, our plans and day dreams don't take into account what He has planned for us.

Why is it so hard to just have faith in His provision and His planning? Why do we have to be so Type A and have each and everything planned out?
