And he said to his disciples, “Therefore I tell you, do not be anxious about your life, what you will eat, nor about your body, what you will put on.
do not be anxious about anything, but in everything by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known to God.
“Therefore I tell you, do 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? Look at the birds of the air: they neither sow nor reap nor gather into barns, and yet your heavenly Father feeds them. Are you not of more value than they? And which of you by being anxious can add a single hour to his span of life? And why are you anxious about clothing? Consider the lilies of the field, how they grow: they neither toil nor spin, yet I tell you, even Solomon in all his glory was not arrayed like one of these.
Keep your life free from love of money, and be content with what you have, for he has said, “I will never leave you nor forsake you.”
I want you to be free from anxieties. The unmarried man is anxious about the things of the Lord, how to please the Lord.
And do not seek what you are to eat and what you are to drink, nor be worried.
