Text:

"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?
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? Who of you by worrying can add a
single hour to his life?
"And why do you worry about clothes? See how the lilies of the field grow.
They do not labour or spin. Yet I tell you that not even Solomon in all his splendour was
dressed like one of these. 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! So do not worry, saying, `What shall we eat?' or `what shall we drink?'
or What shall we wear?'
For the pagans run after all these things, and your heavenly Father knows that
you need them.
But seek first his Kingdom and his righteousness, and all these things will be given to
you as well.

Take a minute:

Reflect on the Lord’s Prayer (Matt 6:9-13) to live out the truths of these verses.
