"Take therefore no thought for the morrow: for the morrow shall take thought for the things of itself." Matthew 6:34
In the crucible of His wisdom and in the ecology of His grace, God has ordered some trouble for you today and every day of your life.
We've been blessed with difficulties. Yes, you read that right — blessed!
The worst thing that could happen to us would be not to have any difficulties. If that were the case, we'd never know our need of the Lord.
So God, in essence, says, "I'm going to give you sufficient difficulty for the day." God gives you enough difficulty to draw you close to Him, but then God gives you enough grace to meet those difficulties every day.
Is there a difficult circumstance in your life? If so, thank God that He's sending it your way to make you more like Jesus. Now, ask for His grace to be victorious through it!

Paul's Prayer for Knowing Gods Will
For this reason, since the day we heard about you, we have not stopped praying for you and asking God to fill you with the knowledge of his will through all spiritual wisdom and understanding. And we pray this in order that you may live a life worthy of the Lord and may please him in every way: bearing fruit in every good work, growing in the knowledge of God, being strengthened with all power according to his glorious might so that you may have great endurance and patience, and joyfully giving thanks to the Father, who has qualified you to share in the inheritance of the saints in the kingdom of light

The Lord's Prayer
Our Father, which art in heaven,
Hallowed be thy Name.
Thy Kingdom come.
Thy will be done
in earth, As it is in heaven.
Give us this day our daily bread.
And forgive us our trespasses,
As we forgive them that trespass against us.
And lead us not into temptation,
But deliver us from evil.
For thine is the kingdom, The power, and the glory,
For ever and ever.
Amen.
Hallowed be thy Name.
Thy Kingdom come.
Thy will be done
in earth, As it is in heaven.
Give us this day our daily bread.
And forgive us our trespasses,
As we forgive them that trespass against us.
And lead us not into temptation,
But deliver us from evil.
For thine is the kingdom, The power, and the glory,
For ever and ever.
Amen.
