Mom of two, Elaine was quite busy. She was George's wife. They are a devoted couple who care deeply for one another and their kids.
Elaine struggled with worrying excessively about the future. She was constantly imagining where her family would be in one, two, or three years, who would be president, and how her favourite sports team would do. The list kept going forever.
George faced the exact issue. He struggled with focusing on the past. He was constantly concerned about whether he had made the proper decision, whether his mistakes would come back to haunt him, etc.
They both took their children to church one day. The sermon stressed the value of living in the now and avoiding thoughts about the past or the future.They were hearing things that they couldn't believe. It seemed as if God had specifically designed this lecture for them. After they left, they understood that they needed to address their anxiety.
They made the decision to begin praying after each worry. "Lord, I'm worried about such-and-such," they would say. I'll give it to you now.
So they began to pray after each worry. They soon began to worry less and devote more of their time and attention to their family.
“Leave tomorrow to take care of itself and don't stress about today. Live in the now and for the present.”
Moral :
Never think about the past, it's bring tears
Don't think about the future, it's bring fear
Live the moment with smile good and cheers
