If then you are not able to do as small a thing as that, why are you anxious about the rest? Consider the lilies, how they grow: they neither toil nor spin, yet I tell you, even Solomon in all his glory was not arrayed like one of these. He said to them, ‘Why are you so afraid? Have you still no faith?’Īnd he said to his disciples, ‘Therefore I tell you, do not be anxious about your life, what you will eat, nor about your body, what you will put on.’Ĭonsider the ravens: they neither sow nor reap, they have neither storehouse nor barn, and yet God feeds them. For my yoke is easy, and my burden is light.Īnd he awoke and rebuked the wind and said to the sea, ‘Peace! Be still!’ And the wind ceased, and there was a great calm. Take my yoke upon you, and learn from me, for I am gentle and lowly in heart, and you will find rest for your souls. Sufficient for the day is its own trouble.Ĭome to me, all who labor and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest. Therefore do not be anxious about tomorrow, for tomorrow will be anxious for itself.

Therefore do not be anxious, saying, ‘What shall we eat?’ or ‘What shall we drink?’ or ‘What shall we wear?’ For the Gentiles seek after all these things, and your heavenly Father knows that you need them all.

Consider the lilies of the field, how they grow: they neither toil nor spin, yet I tell you, even Solomon in all his glory was not arrayed like one of these. Is not life more than food, and the body more than clothing? Look at the birds of the air: they neither sow nor reap nor gather into barns, and yet your heavenly Father feeds them. Therefore I tell you, do not be anxious about your life, what you will eat or what you will drink, nor about your body, what you will put on. ![]() He will exult over you with loud singing.
