Therefore I say unto you , Take no thought for your life , what ye shall eat , or what ye shall drink ; nor yet for your body , what ye shall put on . Is not the life more than meat, and the body than raiment ? Behold the fowls of the air : for they sow not , neither do they reap , nor gather into barns ; yet your heavenly Father feedeth them . Are ye not much better than they ? Which of you by taking thought can add one cubit unto his stature ? And why take ye thought for raiment ? Consider the lilies of the field, how they grow ; they toil not , neither do they spin :And yet I say unto you , That even Solomon in all his glory was not arrayed like one of these . Wherefore , if God so clothe the grass of the field , which to day is , and to morrow is cast into the oven , shall he not much more clothe you , O ye of little faith ? Therefore take no thought , saying, What shall we eat ? or , What shall we drink ? or , Wherewithal shall we be clothed ? (For after all these things do the Gentiles seek :) for your heavenly Father knoweth that ye have need of all these things. But seek ye first the kingdom of God , and his righteousness ; and all these things shall be added unto you .Take no thought beforehand what ye shall speak, neither do ye premeditate : but whatsoever shall be given you in that hour , that speak ye : for it is not ye that speak, but the Holy Ghost.
Be careful for nothing ; but in every thing by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known unto God.
Mathew 6:25-34, Philippians 4:6
