Do Not Worry
25 “Therefore
I say to you, do not worry about your life, what you will eat or what
you will drink; nor about your body, what you will put on. Is not life
more than food and the body more than clothing? 26
Look at the birds of the air, for they neither sow nor reap nor gather
into barns; yet your heavenly Father feeds them. Are you not of more
value than they? 27 Which of you by worrying can
add one cubit to his stature? 28 “So
why do you worry about clothing? Consider the lilies of the field, how
they grow: they neither toil nor spin; 29 and
yet I say to you that even Solomon in all his glory was not arrayed
like one of these. 30 Now if God so clothes the
grass of the field, which today is, and tomorrow is thrown into the
oven, will He not much more clothe you, O you of little faith? 31
“Therefore do not worry, saying, ‘What
shall we eat?’ or ‘What shall we drink?’ or ‘What shall we wear?’ 32
For after all these things the Gentiles seek. For your heavenly Father
knows that you need all these things. 33 But seek
first the kingdom of God and His righteousness, and all these things
shall be added to you. 34 Therefore do not worry
about tomorrow, for tomorrow will worry about its own things. Sufficient
for the day is its own trouble."
