Matthew · chapter 6 · verse 34
Take therefore no thought for the morrow: for the morrow shall take thought for the things of itself. Sufficient unto the day is the evil thereof.Matthew 6:34 · King James Version
What Matthew 6:34 means
Jesus doesn't say tomorrow has no trouble in it. He says it has its own, and it will still be there when you arrive. Dragging it into today doesn't get you ready for it, it just means you carry it twice. Sufficient unto the day is the evil thereof is honest about the day you're actually in.
