Matthew 6:25-34

Do Not Be Anxious

25 aTherefore I tell you, bdo not be anxious about your life, what you will eat or what you will drink, nor about your body, what you will put on. Is not life more than food, and the body more than clothing? 26 cLook at the birds of the air: they neither sow nor reap nor gather into barns, and yet your heavenly Father feeds them. dAre you not of more value than they? 27And which of you by being anxious can add a single hour to his espan of life?
Or  a single cubit to his stature; a cubit was about 18 inches or 45 centimeters
28And why are you anxious about clothing? Consider the lilies of the field, how they grow: they neither toil nor spin, 29yet I tell you, geven Solomon in all his glory was not arrayed like one of these. 30But if God so clothes the grass of the field, which today is alive and tomorrow is thrown into the oven, will he not much more clothe you, hO you of little faith? 31Therefore do not be anxious, saying, ‘What shall we eat?’ orWhat shall we drink?’ orWhat shall we wear?’ 32For ithe Gentiles seek after all these things, and jyour heavenly Father knows that you need them all. 33But kseek first lthe kingdom of God and his righteousness, mand all these things will be added to you.

34 nTherefore do not be anxious about tomorrow, for tomorrow will be anxious for itself. Sufficient for the day is its own trouble.

Matthew 8:26

26And he said to them, Why are you oafraid, pO you of little faith?” Then he rose and qrebuked the winds and the sea, and rthere was a great calm.

Luke 12:29

29And do not seek what you are to eat and what you are to drink, nor sbe worried.

Philippians 4:6

6 tdo not be anxious about anything, ubut in everything by prayer and supplication vwith thanksgiving let your requests be made known to God.

Hebrews 13:5-6

5Keep your life wfree from love of money, and xbe content with what you have, for he has said, y“I will never leave you nor forsake you.” 6So we can confidently say,

z“The Lord is my helper;
aaI will not fear;
what can man do to me?”
