Anxiety » Why you should not be anxious
On this account I tell you, be not anxious for your soul, what you shall eat, or what you shall drink; nor for your body, what you shall put on, is not the soul more than food, and the body more than clothing? Look at the birds of heaven; they sow not, neither do they reap, nor gather into store-houses; but your heavenly Father feeds them. Are you not much better than they? Which of you by being anxious can add one cubit to his stature? read more.
And why are you anxious concerning clothing? Consider the lilies of the field, how they grow; they perform no hard labor, neither do they spin; but I tell you that Solomon in all his glory was not arrayed like one of these. And if God so clothes the grass of the field, which to-day is, and to-morrow is cast into the oven, will he not much more clothe you, men of little faith? Be not anxious, therefore, saying, What shall we eat? or what shall we drink? or with what shall we be clothed? For after all these things the gentiles seek; and your heavenly Father knows that you need all these things. But seek first righteousness and his kingdom, and all these things shall be added to you. Be not anxious, therefore, for to-morrow, for to-morrow will be anxious for its; sufficient for the day is its evil.

And he said to his disciples, I tell you, therefore, be not anxious for your soul what you shall eat, nor for the body what you shall put on. Is not the soul more than the food, and the body than the clothing? Consider the ravens; for they neither sow nor reap, and they have no private room, no storehouse; and God feeds them. How much are you better than the birds! read more.
And which of you can add a cubit to his stature? And if you cannot do the least, why are you anxious for the rest? Consider the lilies; how they neither spin nor weave; but I tell you that Solomon in all his glory was not arrayed like one of them. And if God so clothes the grass in the field, which to-day is, and to-morrow is cast into the oven, will he not much more clothe you, men of little faith? And seek not what you shall eat, and what you shall drink, and be not of a doubtful mind; for all these things do the nations of the world seek; and your Father knows that you need them. But seek his kingdom, and these shall be added to you. Fear not, little flock, for your Father is well pleased to give you the kingdom. Sell your property and bestow charity; make yourselves purses that become not old, and a treasury that fails not, in heaven, where no thief approaches, nor moth destroys; for where your treasury is, there will your heart be also.
