If ye then be not able to do that thing which is least: why take ye thought for the remnant?

Yea every man walketh as it were a shadow, and disquieteth himself in vain: he heapeth up riches, and cannot tell who shall gather them.

Consider the work of God, how that no man can make the thing straight, which he maketh crooked.

And ask not what ye shall eat, or what ye shall drink, neither climb ye up on high:

Cast all your care to him: for he careth for you.
