some simple encouragement and reminders

We can easily manage if we only take each day the burden appointed to it. But the load will be too heavy for us if we carry yesterday's burdens over again today, and then to add the burden of tomorrow before we are required to carry it. --john newton

If you fill your todays with a lot of tomorrows, all you'll be left with in the end is a lot of empty yesterdays. --rick meyer

Therefore I tell you, do not worry about your life, what you will eat or drink; or about your body, what you will wear. Is not life more important than food, and the body more important than clothes? Look at the birds of the air; they do not sow or reap or store away in barns, and yet your heavenly Father feeds them. Are you not much more valuable than they? Who of you by worrying can add a single hour to his life? --Matthew 6:25-27

Don't be anxious about anything, but in everything, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God. And the peace of God, which transcends all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus. --Philippians 4:6-7

Come to me, all who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest. --Matthew 11:28

Ask and it will be given to you; seek and you will find; knock and the door will be opened to you. For everyone who asks receives; he who seeks finds; and to him who knocks, the door will be opened. --Matthew 7:7-8
