“Have no anxiety at all, but in everything, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, make your requests known to God.” (Philippians 4:6) St. Paul wrote this letter to the Christians at Philippi while he was in a prison in Rome. We could tell that his situation was dire since there was a sense of dependence on God from his writings. Words such as “no anxiety” and “with thanksgiving” expressed his trust in God. Jesus also reminded us not to be overly anxious about the future. He once said, “Each day has enough trouble of its own.” What Jesus meant was: live each day to its fullness. Jesus understood that men can easily become anxious and forget that they should live in God’s will. The bottom-line is we can only live according to God’s will if we truly live in the moment. This is because tomorrow is not yet at hand and yesterday can never be repeated. When St. Paul said, “in everything”, he meant that we should live according to God’s will in everything we do. Our spirits can only flourish when we whole-heartedly live out the present moment.
