Anxiety » Why you should not be anxious
Therefore I say to you, Be not anxious for your life, what ye shall eat; nor yet for your body, what ye shall put on. Is not the life more than food, and the body than raiment? Behold the birds of the air, that they sow not, nor reap, nor gather into barns; and your heavenly Father feedeth them. Are not ye of much greater value than they? But who of you by anxious thought can add to his life one cubit? read more.
And why are ye anxious about raiment? Consider the lilies of the field, how they grow. They toil not, neither do they spin; and yet I say to you, that not even Solomon in all his glory was arrayed like one of these. And if God so clothes the herbage of the field, which today is, and tomorrow is cast into an oven, will he not much more clothe you, O ye of little faith? Therefore be not anxious, saying, What shall we eat, or what shall we drink, or wherewith shall we he clothed? For after all these things do the gentiles seek; for your heavenly Father knoweth that ye have need of all these things. But seek first his kingdom, and his righteousness; and all these things will also be given you. Be not then anxious about the morrow; for the morrow will be anxious about itself. Sufficient for the day is the evil thereof.

And he said to his disciples, Therefore I say to you, Be not anxious for the life, what ye shall eat; nor for the body, what ye shall put on. The life is more than its food, and the body than its raiment. Consider the ravens, that they neither sow nor reap; which have neither storehouse, nor barn; and God feedeth them. Of how much greater value are ye than the birds! read more.
And who of you can by anxious thought add a cubit to his life? If then ye cannot do even that which is least, why are ye anxious about the rest? Consider the lilies, that they neither spin nor weave; and yet I say to you, Not even Solomon in all his glory was arrayed like one of these. But if God so clothes the herbage in the field, which is today, and tomorrow is cast into an oven, how much more will he clothe you, O ye of little faith! And seek not ye what ye shall eat, and what ye shall drink; and be not of a doubtful mind. For all these things do the nations of the world seek after; and your Father knoweth that ye have need of these things. But rather seek his kingdom, and these things will also be given you. Fear not, little flock! for it is your Fathers good pleasure to give you the kingdom. Sell what ye have, and give alms. Make for yourselves purses which wax not old, treasure in the heavens that faileth not, where no thief approacheth, nor moth destroyeth. For where your treasure is, there will your heart be also.
