Luke 12:22-34 - Anxiety

22 And he said to his disciples, Therefore I say to you, Take no thought for your life what ye shall eat, neither for the body what ye shall put on. 23 The life is more than meat, and the body than raiment. 24 Consider the ravens; for they neither sow nor reap; neither have store-house nor barn: yet God feedeth them. How much better are ye than the birds? 25 And which of you by taking thought, can add the least measure to his age? 26 If ye then be not able to do that which is least, why take ye thought for the rest?

27 Consider the lilies, how they grow; they toil not, neither do they spin; and yet I say to you, that Solomon in all his glory was not arrayed like one of these. 28 If then God so cloth the grass, which is to day in the field, and to morrow is cast into the still, how much more will he clothe you, O ye of little faith? 29 And seek not ye, what ye shall eat or what ye shall drink, neither be ye of a doubtful mind. 30 For the nations of the world seek all these things; and your Father knoweth that ye need these things.

31 But seek ye the kingdom of God, and all these things shall be added to you. 32 Fear not, little flock, for it is your Father's good pleasure to give you the kingdom. 33 Sell what ye have and give alms: provide yourselves purses which wax not old, a treasure in the heavens that faileth not, where no thief approacheth, neither moth corrupteth. 34 For where your treasure is, there will your heart be also.
