How to get through the day | A short story

Having a bad day? A simple secret to a sweet, happy and more peaceful life amidst the stress and anxiety. "One secret to a sweet and happy life, is learning to live by the day.  It is the long stretches that tire us.  We think of life as a hole, running on for us.  We can not carry this load.  We can not fight this battle continuously for a half a century.  But really, there are no long stretches.  Life does not come at us all at one time; it comes only a day at a time.  Even tomorrow is never ours until it becomes today.  

It is a blessed secret this, living by the day.  Any one can carry his burden, however heavy, till nightfall.  Any one can do her work, however hard, for one day.  Anyone can live sweetly, patiently, lovingly, purely, until the sun goes down.  And this is all life ever means to us - just one little day.  “Do ... not weaken or distract yourself by looking forward to things you can not see, and can not understand”.  God gives us night, to shut down our little days.  We can not see beyond." 
 
-Fr. Lasance, My Prayer Book, p.51.

Matthew 6:34 “Therefore do not worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will worry about itself. Each day has enough trouble of its own.”

Idk why but that last part with the cheerful farmer strutting over the field got me as happy as he is 😂

I used to be the grumpy farmer now I live like the happy one. Don’t overthink, let tomorrow worry about it’s own things. Almost all things we worry about never actually happen, so peace to you my friends

living in the present and focusing on what is right now is a key to a peaceful life

Cast all your worries unto God. If God can keep millions of sparrows flying, and sparrows are just animals, then how much more is He gonna take care of you?

Less than a day actually.
Only just what is in front of you in the moment. Beginnings of dementia is really helpful for this. Pick up what is in front of you. Rest in your breath.

I'm the grumpy farmer times ten. I look at my life, but only through the past and future. I look at my sins and what I have done wrong, and deem myself unworthy. I look at everything I have done and what I must do to correct it, and deem myself unworthy. I feel the weight of it all, and it makes my depression and anxiety. "I feel like a husk, not as a person, there is so much around me everywhere all at once all the time, and I can't deal with it" I say to others AND myself. I can't imagine actually doing everything I need to do to correct and then maintain my life. I pray for healing.

This is how I conceptualize faith. It isn't the blind belief in something you can't prove - it's the conviction that so long as we act virtuously in the present, the future will be a good future, even if the circumstances of said future are against what we desire.

I love the animations you do for the videos. It helps me understand better and able to get a clearer picture on God's instructions.

Jesus loves you all, here and now. Die to yourself daily, pick up your cross, and follow Him. I can't wait to see y'all in the life after this life❤🙏🏻
