The Cure for Anxiety
25\\xa0\\u201cFor this reason I say to you, [a]do not be worried about your [b]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\\xa0Look at the birds of the [c]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\\xa0And who of you by being worried can add a single [d]hour to his [e]life? 28\\xa0And why are you worried about clothing? Observe how the lilies of the field grow; they do not toil nor do they spin, 29\\xa0yet I say to you that not even Solomon in all his glory clothed himself like one of these. 30\\xa0But 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\\xa0Do not worry then, saying, \\u2018What will we eat?\\u2019 or \\u2018What will we drink?\\u2019 or \\u2018What will we wear for clothing?\\u2019 32\\xa0For the Gentiles eagerly seek all these things; for your heavenly Father knows that you need all these things. 33\\xa0But [f]seek first [g]His kingdom and His righteousness, and all these things will be [h]added to you.
\\xa0
34\\xa0\\u201cSo do not worry about tomorrow; for tomorrow will [i]care for itself. [j]Each day has enough trouble of its own.
