Anxiety » Why you should not be anxious
"For this reason I say to you, do not be anxious about your life, inquiring what you shall eat or what you shall drink, nor yet for your body, inquiring what you shall wear. Is not your life more than its food, and your body than its clothing? "Behold! the birds in the sky! They neither sow, nor reap, nor gather into barns, yet your heavenly Father feeds them; and are not you worth more than they? "Which one of you by being anxious is able to add even one cubit to his stature? read more.
"Why be anxious then about clothing? Consider the lilies of the field, how they grow. They toil not, neither do they spin. "But I say to you that not even Solomon in all his glory was robed like one of these. "If God then so clothes the grass of the field, which blooms today, and tomorrow is cast into the oven, will he not much more clothe you, you of little faith? "Then do not be anxious, saying, 'What shall we eat?' or 'What shall we drink?' or 'What shall we wear?'" "For all these are things that the Gentiles are eagerly seeking; for your heavenly Father knows that you have need of them all. "But continue to seek first his kingdom and his righteousness, and all these things shall be added to you. "Do not then be anxious about tomorrow, for tomorrow will bring its own anxieties. Enough for each day are its own troubles."

"Consider the lilies how they grow! They toil not, neither do they spin, yet I say to you that even Solomon in all his glory was not arrayed like one of these. "Now if God so clothe the grass in the field, which today is, and tomorrow is cast into the oven, will he not much more clothe you, O you of little faith? "So do not be asking what ye shall eat, or what ye shall drink, and be not of doubtful mind. "For all these things the nations of the world are seeking; but your Father knows that you have need of these things. "But seek his kingdom, and these things shall be added to you. "Fear not, little flock, for it is your Father's good pleasure to give you the kingdom. "Sell what you have and give alms. Provide yourselves with purses which do not grow old, a treasure inexhaustible in the heavens, where no thief draws near, nor does moth destroy. "For where your treasure is there will your heart be also.
