    22Exhortation Not to Worry Then Jesus said to his disciples,“Therefore I tell you, do not worry about your life, what you will eat, or about your body, what you will wear.

    23For there is more to life than food, and more to the body than clothing.

    24Consider the ravens: They do not sow or reap, they have no storeroom or barn, yet God feeds them. How much more valuable are you than the birds!

    25And which of you by worrying can add an hour to his life?

    26So if you cannot do such a very little thing as this, why do you worry about the rest?

    27Consider how the flowers grow; they do not work or spin. Yet I tell you, not even Solomon in all his glory was clothed like one of these!

    29So do not be overly concerned about what you will eat and what you will drink, and do not worry about such things.

    30For all the nations of the world pursue these things, and your Father knows that you need them.

    31Instead, pursue his kingdom, and these things will be given to you as well.
