Do Not Worry

Then He said to His disciples, "Therefore I say to you, do not worry about about your life, what you will eat; nor about the body, what you will put on. Life is more than food, and the body is more than clothing. Consider the ravens, for they neither sow nor reap, they have neither a storehouse or a barn; and God feeds them. Of how much more value are you than the birds? And which of you by worrying can add one more minute to his life? If you are not able to do the least, then why are you anxious for the rest? Consider the lilies, how they grow: they neither toil nor spin. Even Solomon in all his glory was not arrayed like one of these. If then God clothes the grass, how much more will He clothe you, O you of little faith? Do not seek what you should eat or drink or have an anxious mind. For these things are what the nations of the world seek after, and your Father knows that you need these things before you even ask. But seek the kingdom of God and all these things will be added to you. Do not fear, for it is your Father's good pleasure to give you the kingdom. Sell what you own and provide for yourselves that which des not grow old, a treasure that does not fail, that no thief can
steal, or moth can destroy. For where your treasure is, there your heart will be also."
