Do Not Worry
25 “Therefore I tell you, do not worry about your life, what you will eat or drink; or about your body, what you will wear. Is not life more important than food, and the body more important than clothes? 26 Look at the birds of the air; they do not sow or reap or store away in barns, and yet your heavenly Father feeds them. Are you not much more valuable than they? 27 Who of you by worrying can add a single hour to his life[a]?
28 “And why do
you worry about
clothes? See how the
lilies of the field
grow. They do not
labor or spin.
29 Yet I tell
you that not even
Solomon in all his
splendor was dressed
like one of these.
30 If that is
how God clothes the
grass of the field,
which is here today
and tomorrow is
thrown into the
fire, will he not
much more clothe
you, O you of little
faith?
31 So do not
worry, saying, ‘What
shall we eat?’ or
‘What shall we
drink?’ or ‘What
shall we wear?’
32 For the
pagans run after all
these things, and
your heavenly Father
knows that you need
them.
33 But seek
first his kingdom
and his
righteousness, and
all these things
will be given to you
as well.
34 Therefore
do not worry about
tomorrow, for
tomorrow will worry
about itself. Each
day has enough
trouble of its own.
