Scripture References
Matthew 6;25-34
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. Isn’t there more to life than food and more to the body than
clothing? 26 Look at the birds in the sky: They do not sow, or reap,
or gather into barns, yet your heavenly Father feeds them. Aren’t you more
valuable than they are? 27 And which of you by worrying can add even
one hour to his life?
28 Why do you worry about clothing?
Think about how the flowers of the field grow; they do not work or spin. 29 Yet
I tell you that not even Solomon in all his glory was clothed like one of
these! 30 And if this is how God clothes the wild grass, which is here
today and tomorrow is tossed into the fire to heat the oven, won’t he clothe
you even more, you people of little faith? 31 So then, don’t
worry saying, ‘What will we eat?’ or ‘What will we drink?’ or ‘What will we
wear?’ 32 For the unconverted pursue these things, and your heavenly
Father knows that you need them. 33 But above all pursue his kingdom and
righteousness, and all these things will be given to you as well. 34 So
then, do not worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will worry about itself. Today has enough trouble of its own.

through your land. You will chase your enemies, and they shall fall by the
