Bible verse
Therefore do not worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will worry about itself. Today has enough trouble of its own.
Matthew 6:34 · BSB
He says the opposite: "sufficient for the day is its own trouble." Tomorrow has trouble in it. He is not offering optimism.

32 For the Gentiles strive after all these things, and your heavenly Father knows that you need them.

34 Therefore do not worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will worry about itself. Today has enough trouble of its own.
