Mat 6:25 | MHM | STEP | The Cure for Anxiety In this section, Jesus teaches his disciples not to be anxious about their daily needs. He gives many reasons why they should trust God for food, drink, and clothing. Jesus wants his followers to have faith in God’s care, instead of worrying about the things of this world. He shows that anxiety is not only unnecessary, but also shows a lack of trust in God’s promises and love. v. 25 : Jesus says, Therefore I tell you, do not worry about your life, what you will eat or drink; or about your body, what you will wear (Matthew 6:25 ). He commands his followers not to be anxious about their basic needs. Life is more than food, and the body is more than clothes. God gave us life and our bodies, so he can also give us food and clothing. Jesus is not telling us to be careless or lazy, but to trust God while we do our work. Worrying does not help us, and it shows we do not trust God to provide.

‏ Matthew 6:25
