  • Matt 6:25-34 : 25 Therefore, I tell you, do not worry about your life, what you will eat or drink, or about your body, what you will wear. Is not life more than food, and the body more than clothing? 26 Look at the birds of the sky: they do not sow, they do not reap, and they do not store away in barns. Yet your heavenly Father feeds them. Are you not much more valuable than they are? 27 Who among you, by worrying, can add a single cubit to their lifespan? 28 Why do you worry about clothing? Observe the lilies of the field and how they grow. They do not toil or spin. 29 Yet I tell you that not even Solomon, in all his glory, was clothed like one of these. 30 If God so dresses the grass of the field, which is here today and thrown into the oven tomorrow, will He not much more clothe you—O you of little faith? 31 So do not worry, saying, 'What will we eat?' or 'What will we drink?' or 'What will we wear?' 32 For the Gentiles eagerly seek all these things, and your heavenly Father knows that you need them. 33 But seek first the kingdom of God and His righteousness, and all these things will be added to you. 34 Therefore do not worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will worry about itself. Each day has enough trouble of its own.
