Observations: Do not worry... specifically about tomorrow and all that is to come. Jesus talks a lot in this chapter about worrying. Verses 25 through 34 approach the subject. In short he is saying that life is too short to worry about everything that may come about. In verse 27 he says, "can any one of you by worrying add a single hour to your life?" I think Jesus is saying not to sweat the small stuff. There are many things in this world that are beyond our control, so why bother with worrying... it doesn't help, it doesn't make us feel better, it often doesn't make others feel better. In verse 34 I believe he's saying that we just need to live every moment as if it were our last. Don't worry about the future and everything that we need to deal with... In verse 33 he tells us to seek the Kingdom above everything else... if you do that, there should be no need to worry.
Application: Don't sweat the small stuff. Focus on the kingdom and everything else will be taken care of.
Prayer: Father, help me not to worry about what each day may bring... keep my eyes focused so that I can better see you and your plan. There's no reason to get bent out of shape because it likely won't help... help me remember that.
