Do Not Worry
Do not worry about your life, what you will eat or drink; or
about your body, what you will wear. Is not life more than food and the body more than clothes?
Look at the birds of the air; they do not sow or reap or store
away in barns, and yet your heavenly Father feeds them. Are
you not much more valuable than they?
Can any one of you by worrying add a single hour to your life?
And why do you worry about clothes? See how the flowers of the
field grow. They do not labour or spin.
Yet I tell you that not even Solomon in all his splendour was
dressed like one of these.
If that is how God clothes the grass of the field, which is here
today and tomorrow is thrown into the fire, will he not much
more clothe you – you of little faith?
So do not worry, saying, “What shall we
eat?” or “What shall we drink?” or “What shall we wear?”
For the pagans run after all these things, and your heavenly
Father knows that you need them.
But seek first his kingdom and his righteousness, and all these
things will be given to you as well.
Therefore do not worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will
worry about itself. Each day has enough trouble of its own.
New International Bible, Matthew: 6:25-34
