A devotional on “Today Is the Tomorrow You Prayed About”:
Today Is the Tomorrow You Prayed About
Scripture
“The steadfast love of the Lord never ceases; his mercies never come to an end; they are new every morning; great is your faithfulness.” – Lamentations 3:22–23
Reflection
So often we pray about the future—asking God to provide, to heal, to guide, to open doors. And then, when tomorrow arrives, we sometimes forget that today is the very answer to those prayers.
Every sunrise is living proof of God’s faithfulness. The strength you have today, the breath in your lungs, the opportunities before you—they are the tomorrows you once lifted up in prayer. Even if everything is not perfect, God has carried you here, and His grace is sufficient for this day.
Recognizing today as a gift changes how we live. Instead of being consumed with anxiety about what’s ahead, we can rejoice that God is already at work. What you prayed for yesterday, He is fulfilling in ways seen and unseen today.
Application
- Begin your day with gratitude, remembering prayers God has already answered.
- When you face difficulties, remind yourself: “This is the tomorrow I once prayed for, and God is with me in it.”
- Choose to live today intentionally, as a testimony of God’s faithfulness.
Prayer
Father, thank You for bringing me into this new day. Help me to see that today is the tomorrow I prayed about. Teach me to trust You more fully, to rejoice in Your faithfulness, and to walk boldly in the grace You provide. Amen.

Today’s Gift
Today is the tomorrow you prayed would appear,
A gift of God’s mercy, His presence so near.
The past is behind you, His grace leads the way,
Rejoice in the faithfulness, He gives today.
Here’s a poem for you, Stephen, on the theme “Today Is the Tomorrow You Prayed For”:
Today Is the Tomorrow You Prayed For
Yesterday’s whispers rose to the skies,
With tears and with hopes, with lifted cries.
The Lord heard each word, each longing plea,
And shaped today with His mercy.
Today is the tomorrow you prayed would come,
A gift of His grace, a work He has done.
Though not without trials, His presence is near,
His faithfulness shining, His promise is clear.
So walk in this moment with joy and delight,
God’s hand holds your steps, His love is your light.
Rejoice in the blessings He’s placed at your door—
Today is the tomorrow that you prayed for.
