I have this problem. It's not like a, "this is so bad that it's uncomfortable to write or read" problem but more of a mental tug of war that I play with myself....day in...and day out.
My mind likes to grasp for things, grasping for what tomorrow or next week or next month may bring. And I look to the future trying to see where God is going to lead me next...and I forget...I forget to focus on the now. I don't focus on what God is showing me at the very moment and I let things pass by me, and it disgusts me. Because I was too busy trying to find God in the future and not able to hear Him now.
I have over committed. I thought that I could handle all this and saw many opportunities to serve in different aspects of the ministry, thinking that each would help me along where I need to be in the future, that I didn't realize how thinly spread I was. I am now on the break down of discerning God's voice in where I need to be now, and what I need to de-commit to. And I hate it because I now feel like I am letting people down. But I know that God is helping me through this.
So how do I focus on now? How do I get my mind of the plans I oh so want to make?
Simply put....just focus on God, the blessings He has placed in the miraculous life that I live. It's that simple...yet my frustrating mind doesn't work that way. But that is part of the whole learning process...that you just depend on God more and more as life gets more and more complicating.
Depend on God...rest in Him...know that He is in control of tomorrow...be joyful of today.

Precious son of His, as you learn to fix your eyes on the Beloved may you be blessed with His richness and the glory of looking to Him above and before all things. Let His steadfast love pour out on you. May you be aware of His presence when you wake, when you rise, and when you sleep.
Know that the Lord your God is in the midst of you, a Mighty One, a Savior Who saves! He will rejoice over you with joy; He will rest in silent satisfaction and in His love He will be silent and make no mention of past sins, or even recall them; He will exalt over you with singing.
Zephaniah 3:17
You are His beloved son, may you rest in that. Be still and know that He is.
