Imagine the best version of tomorrow. What happens? Maybe you hit every green light on the way to work, crush your meetings, get promoted, get your favorite takeout on the way home, and spend a great evening with just the right number of people.
Sounds great, right? But maybe it’s easier for you to imagine the opposite of this perfect day. Maybe you’re feeling a little anxious about life’s unknowns, and your mind is full of what-ifs like …
- Will I make the right decisions?
- What if I mess it up?
- Will tomorrow be as dull as today?
No matter what tomorrow brings, prayer invites us to face it with peace and confidence. When we talk to God about our hopes and fears, we’re reminded that we don’t walk into the future alone. That’s the power of daily prayer—it grounds us in God’s presence and reminds us of His power.
What Does Jesus Say About Tomorrow?
Jesus actually encouraged us not to worry about tomorrow at all. In Matthew 6, He says,
“So don’t worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will bring its own worries. Today’s trouble is enough for today.” Matthew 6:34 NLT
That isn’t Jesus telling us to ignore the future—it’s Him inviting us to trust that our heavenly Father will provide what we need, exactly when we need it.
Even if tomorrow looks boring or scary, it still holds potential.
Even if tomorrow looks boring or scary, it still holds potential. It’s another chance to grow, to love, to experience the presence of the Lord, and to make a difference.
Whether you’re heading into a big presentation or just trying to survive the school drop-off line, God is with you. He’ll give you strength, wisdom, peace, or joy—whatever you need tomorrow.
3 Prayers for Tomorrow
Here are three powerful prayers of hope, strength, and peace you can pray as you look ahead to tomorrow:
1. A Prayer for Tomorrow
Dear God, I don’t know what tomorrow will bring, but I know You’re with me. Even when I can’t see exactly what’s ahead, I know I can trust You. Keep me steady when things inevitably change and give me faith to believe You’re working everything out for good. In Jesus’ name, amen.
2. A Prayer for Strength for Tomorrow’s Challenges
Dear heavenly Father, You know what tomorrow holds, and You know what I’ll need to face it. When I feel overwhelmed, remind me that You’re my strength. When I’m unsure, be my guide. I trust You with the challenges ahead, because I know You’ve already gone before me. In Jesus’ name, amen.
3. A Prayer for Gratitude for Tomorrow’s Blessings
Dear God, sometimes I’m so focused on what could go wrong that I miss what could go right. Help me notice the big and small ways You’re working in and around me tomorrow. Remind me that every good thing comes from You. Tomorrow, no matter what happens, help me respond with a grateful heart. In Jesus’ name, amen.
