"NEVER ASK FOR TO-MORROW"

RICHARD CARVER

Are we apprehensive of something we think might happen tomorrow—some dreaded outcome to a physical problem, some bills that must be paid, some job we might lose? Are we afraid that we may lack the time or ability to perform some needful task? If so, comfort and reassurance are contained in the words of the Psalmist (Ps. 46:1), "God is our refuge and strength, a very present help in trouble."

Mary Baker Eddy, the Discoverer and Founder of Christian Science, is emphatic regarding the immediacy of divine succor. She says (Miscellaneous Writings, p. 307), "Never ask for to-morrow: it is enough that divine Love is an ever-present help; and if you wait, never doubting, you will have all you need every moment."

God is present to help us here and now. His ever-available equipollence is always ready to rescue us. Nor should we be concerned lest His help be unavailable to us tomorrow. The power of God, Principle, is always present to aid us in every worthy endeavor, to help us achieve every necessary and commendable objective. God is never absent.
