SCRIPTURE: (NKJV unless noted)


“Therefore I say to you, do not worry about your life, what
you will eat or what you will drink; nor about your body, what
you will put on. Is not life more than food and the body more
than clothing?  Look at the birds of
the air, for they neither sow nor reap nor gather into barns; yet
your heavenly Father feeds them. Are you not of more value than
they? Which of you by worrying can add one cubit to
his stature? So why do you worry about clothing? Consider
the lilies of the field, how they grow: they neither toil nor
spin; and yet I say to you that even Solomon in all his
glory was not arrayed like one of these. Now if God so
clothes the grass of the field, which today is, and tomorrow is
thrown into the oven, will He not much
more clothe you, O you of little faith?Therefore do not
worry, saying, ‘What shall we eat?’ or ‘What shall we drink?’ or
‘What shall we wear?’ For after all these
things the Gentiles seek. For your heavenly Father knows that you
need all these things. But seek first
the kingdom of God and His righteousness, and all these things
shall be added to you. Therefore do not
worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will worry about its own
things. Sufficient for the day is its own trouble.”
Matthew 6:25-34


 


“Rejoice always, pray without
ceasing, in everything give thanks; for
this is the will of God in Christ Jesus for you.” 1Thessalonians
5:16-18
