Anxiety » Why you should not be anxious
For this I say to you, Be not anxious about your soul, what ye eat, and what ye drink; nor about your body, what ye put on. Is not the soul more than food, and the body than dress? Look ye upon the fowls of heaven; for they neither sow, nor reap, nor collect into stores; and your heavenly Father nourishes them. Do ye not rather differ from them Which of you, being anxious, can add one cubit to his size? read more.
And about dress, why are ye anxious? Consider the white lilies of the field, how they grow; they are not wearied, neither do they spin: And I say to you that neither Solomon in all his glory was surrounded as one of these. And if the grass of the field, being this day, and to morrow cast into the furnace, God so clothes much rather you, ye of little faith! Therefore be ye not anxious, saying: What shall we eat? or, What shall we drink? or, What shall we put round us? For all these the nations seek for; for your heavenly Father knows that ye have need of all these. But seek first the kingdom of God and his justice, and all these shall be added to you. Therefore should ye not be anxious about the morrow: for the morrow shall be anxious about the things of itself. Sufficient for the day its evil.

To David. Thou shalt not be angry at those doing evil, and thou shalt not envy those working iniquity. For as grass hastening they shall be cut down, and as the greenness of grass they shall fall away.
Thou shalt not be angry against the evil; thou shalt not envy against the unjust: For there shall be no latter state to the evil one: the light of the unjust shall be extinguished.
And he said to his disciples, Therefore I say to you, Have no anxiety for your soul, what ye eat; nor for the body what ye put on. The soul is more than food, and the body than clothing. Consider the ravens: for they sow not neither do they reap; to them there is not store-house nor store; and God nourishes them: how much more have ye preeminence of the fowls? read more.
And which of you having anxiety can add to his size one cubit? If then ye cannot do the least, why have ye anxiety for the rest? Consider the white lilies, how they grow; they are not wearied, neither do they spin; and I say to you, neither was Solomon in all his glory clothed as one of these. And if the grass, to day being in the field and to morrow cast into the furnace, God so clothes; how much rather you, ye of little faith? And ye, seek ye not what ye eat, or what ye drink, and keep not in anxiety. For all these things the nations of the world seek for: and your Father knows that ye have need of these. But seek the kingdom of God; and all these shall be added to you. Fear not, little flock; for your Father was contented to give you the kingdom. Sell your possessions, and give alms; make to yourselves purses not growing old, an inexhaustible treasure in the heavens, where the thief approaches not, nor moth corrupts. For where your treasure is, there also will be your heart.
