Matthew

Do Not Worry

6
Chapter 6
25 For this reason I say to you: do not be anxious about your life, what you will eat, or about your body, what you will put on. Is not the life more than the food, and the body more than the clothing? 26 Look at the birds of the sky, for they do not sow nor reap nor gather into barns, and your heavenly Father feeds them. Are you not much better than they? 27 But which of you by worrying can add one cubit to his stature? 28 And why do you worry about clothing? Consider the lilies of the field, how they grow; they neither toil nor spin. 29 But I say to you that not even Solomon in all his glory was clothed as one of these. 30 But if God clothes the grass of the field in this way—which is alive today and thrown into the oven tomorrow—will he not much more clothe you, you of little faith? 31 Therefore do not worry, saying, "What shall we eat?" or "What shall we drink?" or "What shall we put on?" 32 For all these things the nations seek after; for your heavenly Father knows that you need all these. 33 But seek first his kingdom and his righteousness, and all these things will be added to you. 34 Therefore do not be anxious about tomorrow, for tomorrow will be anxious about its own things. Sufficient for the day is its own wickedness.
