hi there. usually when i am very stressed, i think of tomorrow and i get more stressed. now i am trying to live one day at a time and simply think of my today. it helps me alot if i dont pressure myself too much as i was in the habit of pushing too hard and too fast about something. in the end, i just burned out. so i am trying to learn the lesson of just going the normal pace, maybe a little faster than the normal pace but the break-neck speed that i was going on for the past years. they say think positive. i believe to do that.. great things still happen. God is in our tomorrows. He promised to always be there...Emmanuel... God is with us. how about you.. are you scared of tomorrow?

King James Bible 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. I PUT IT THIS WAY, DO NOT WORRY ABOUT THE FUTURE FOR ONLY GOD KNOWS THE FUTURE, LIVE TODAY AND LET GOD WORRY ABOUT TOMORROW. FAIR ENOUGH.

I don't know where you're from, but marriage is never something you should rush into just because of age, or the influence of parents. If you don't wait until you find that right person, you will not be truly happy, and the marriage will utterly fail. It's a pity not that many parents in certain countries or ethnicities understand that.

I think it is normal that we sometimes fear for tomorrow. We fear if what will be our future. What will happen to us tomorrow, are we going to have food to eat, have at peace, do we die tomorrow? There are so many things that we cared and have fear for. But like what you said if we live each day and surrender everything to God then I think we have nothing to fear. Just continue doing good and be prepared and offer to god all things today, yesterday and tomorrow I think everything will fall into place.

i'm not scared of what tomorrow would bring me, you shouldn't too. just have faith on Him and on His promises. God is really always with us. You might not see Him, but that's faith is all about, believing to something or someone you can't see.

I do think not is natural to be thinking of the future and be scared. Me, I admit that I'm scared of what will the future holds for me. Just thinking it makes me stressed and pessimistic at times. There's so many things that would happen and you're do not have total control on things. I tried to be positive and takes my time. Right now I'm not thinking of the future just leave on the day and do the right thing that would be best for me. I trust in myself and in God. Everything that would happen, has a purpose and that what I believed.

I feel that way lately... there is just not enough time in the day though.. and i stress out about everything i need to get and do and what i need to be doing and getting done and what i'm actually doing. i'm always waiting for tomorrow to come along so i can try and get ahead or try and get back on track... and i get burnt out from stressing and people are like how are you burnt out and stuff? and its because of the stress.. the stress makes you feel more tired. i hate it.. i try to live day to day and not think about things or stress out about them but i sometimes just end up stressing out even more over them..because i will start to actually enjoy life and not worry but theres always stuffing happening so i start stressing out again.

God holds our tomorrows and because of that I believe I have nothing to fear. I have such a great trust on the almighty God. He is my Maker and certainly He has the best in store for me. Of course as one song goes to tell, the way to the future may not be an easy one because: God hath not promised skies always blue, Flower-strewn pathways all our lives through; God hath not promised sun without rain, Joy without sorrow, peace without pain. God hath not promised we shall not know Toil and temptation, trouble and woe; He hath not told us we shall not bear Many a burden, many a care. God hath not promised smooth roads and wide, Swift, easy travel, needing no guide; Never a mountain, rocky and steep, Never a river, turbid and deep. (BUT AS THIS VERY SONG ALSO SAID IN REFRAIN:) But God hath promised strength for the day, Rest for the labor, light for the way, Grace for the trials, help from above, Unfailing sympathy, undying love. ...... Because of God's undying love, I have no fear about the future. I may not know about tomorrow but God knows and holds my tomorrow and He will hold my hand until I reach the brightest tomorrow He has prepared for me.

I am sometimes afraid of tomorrow. In cases when I know that the next day is going to be terrible. But one thing that I learn every time is that I can't help anything happening so no point in worrying about that. Worrying about tomorrow even spoils the beautiful today.

Yes. I am scared of tomorrow. I suffer a large stress. Sometimes I even have no confidence on life. I don't know how to spend the rest of life. It's just the responsibility as a daughter, a wife and mother, which support me to continue. I don't know whether tomorrow will bring worse luck to me or not.

No, I am more scared of the past than of the future, but right now is my happiest time. I am not scared of time, really, just unleashed dogs and that sort of thing, you know, tangibles...

I'm not really scared of tomorrow. For example, tomorrow I have an exam and I'm not stressed at all! I probably will get a little stressed just before the exam tomorrow, but when that's over, my stress is over. I'm living life one day at a time as well and but that doesn't mean I go at a slow pace. I do a lot, but not necessarely the things I need to do. Again, let me illustrate with an example: I should be studying but I am on Mylot again. :p

I used to. I used to wish it never came but now I wake up feeling good and that things are looking up. I don't hide under the covers anymore to make me go back to sleep. I get up and try to start my day right away. Take care, Shiloh.

I think the future is bright for me, even though I dropped out from school, it gave the chance to think about what I really want to do in my life and now I'm happy because I now have a lot of plans for tomorrow ^_^
