Matthew 6:25-33

25“1For this reason I say to you, 2do not be 3worried about your 4life, as to what you will eat or what you will drink; nor for your body, as to what you will put on. Is life not more than food, and the body more than clothing? 265Look at the birds of the sky, that they do not sow, nor reap, nor gather crops into barns, and yet your heavenly Father feeds them. Are you not much more important than they? 27And which of you by 6worrying can 7add a single 8day to his 9life’s span? 28And why are you 10worried about clothing? Notice how the lilies of the field grow; they do not labor nor do they spin thread for cloth, 29yet I say to you that not even 11Solomon in all his glory clothed himself like one of these. 30But if God so clothes the 12grass of the field, which is alive today and tomorrow is thrown into the furnace, will He not much more clothe you? 13You of little faith! 31Do not 14worry then, saying, ‘What are we to eat?’ or ‘What are we to drink?’ or ‘What are we to wear for clothing?’ 32For the Gentiles eagerly seek all these things; for 15your heavenly Father knows that you need all these things. 33But 16seek first 17His kingdom and His righteousness, and 18all these things will be 19provided to you.
