Anxiety » Why you should not be anxious
I tell you, do not worry about your life, what you will eat or drink. And do not worry about your body, what you will wear. Is life worth more than food? And is the body worth more than clothes? Look at the birds of the sky, they do not sow, nor reap, nor gather into barns. Your heavenly Father feeds them. Are you worth more than they? Can you live longer by worrying about it? read more.
Why are you worried about clothing? Look at how the lilies of the field grow. They do not toil. They do not spin. I tell you that not even Solomon in all his glory was dressed like these. If God clothes the grass of the field, which is here today, and tomorrow is thrown into the furnace, won't he care for you even more? You of little faith! Do not worry! Do not say: 'What shall we eat?' or, 'What shall we drink?' or, 'What shall we wear?' All people go in search of these things. Your heavenly Father knows that you need all these things. Seek (desire) (require) (serve) first the kingdom of God and his righteousness [continuously] and all these things will be added to you. Do not worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will have its own worries. Sufficient for each day is its own badness.

([Psalm of David]) Do not be bothered by evildoers. Do not envy those who do wicked things. They will quickly dry up like grass and whither away like green plants.
Do not worry about evil people. Do not envy the wicked! There is no reward for the evil man! The candle of the wicked will be put out.
He told his disciples: Therefore I say to you, do not be anxious for your life, what you eat or what you wear on your body. Life is more than food and clothing. Consider the ravens for they do not sow or reap. They have no storehouse or barn. Yet God feeds them. How much more valuable are you than the birds! read more.
Which of you by being anxious can add a cubit to your life? If you are not able to do even that which is least why worry about the rest? Consider the way the lilies grow. They do not toil and neither do they spin. Yet I tell you even Solomon in all his glory was not arrayed like one of these. If God clothes the grasses in the field, which is here today and is cast into the oven tomorrow, how much more will he clothe you? You have little faith. Do not seek food and drink and do not worry. For the people of the nations seek after these things. Your Father knows that you need them. Seek first his kingdom and these things will be added to you. Do not fear little flock for it is your Father's good pleasure to give you the kingdom. Sell your possessions and give to charity. Make yourselves purses that do not get old, a treasure in heaven where moth and rest cannot corrupt and thieves cannot steal. Your heart will be where your treasure is.
