Christ teaching about anxiety/worry
Matthew 625 "For this reason I say to you, do
not be worried about your life, as to what you
will eat or what you will drink nor for your
body, as to what you will put on. Is not life
more than food, and the body more than clothing?
26 "Look at the birds of the air, that they do
not sow, nor reap nor gather into barns, and yet
your heavenly Father feeds them. Are you not
worth much more than they? 27 "And who of you by
being worried can add a single hour to his life?
28 "And why are you worried about clothing?
Observe how the lilies of the field grow they do
not toil nor do they spin, 29 yet I say to you
that not even Solomon in all his glory clothed
himself like one of these. 30 "But if God so
clothes the grass of the field, which is alive
today and tomorrow is thrown into the furnace,
will He not much more clothe you? You of little
faith! 31 "Do not worry then, saying, 'What will
we eat?' or 'What will we drink?' or 'What will
we wear for clothing?' 32 "For the Gentiles
eagerly seek all these things for your heavenly
Father knows that you need all these things. 33
"But seek first His kingdom and His
righteousness, and all these things will be added
to you. 34 "So do not worry about tomorrow for
tomorrow will care for itself. Each day has
enough trouble of its own.
