• Therefore I tell you,do not worry about your
  life,what you will eat or drinkor about your
  body,what you will wear.Is not life more
  important than food,and the body more
  importantthan clothes?

12

• Look at the birds of the airthey do not sow or
  reapor store away in barns,and yet your
  heavenly Father feeds them.Are you not much
  morevaluable than they?Who of you by
  worryingcan add a single hour to his
  life?(Matthew 625-27)

13

• And why do you worry about clothes?See how the
  lilies of the field grow.They do not labor or
  spin.Yet I tell you that not even Solomon in all
  his splendorwas dressed like one of these.

14

• If that is how God clothesthe grass of the
  field,which is here todayand tomorrow is thrown
  into the fire,will he not much more clothe
  you,O you of little faith?(Matthew 628-30)

15
What does Jesus equate worrying with?
16

• So do not worry, saying,What shall we eat?
  orWhat shall we drink? orWhat shall we
  wear?For the pagans runafter all these
  things,and your heavenly Fatherknows that you
  need them.

17

• But seek first his kingdomand his
  righteousness,and all these thingswill be given
  to you as well.Therefore do not worry about
  tomorrow,for tomorrow will worry about
  itself.Each day has enough trouble of its
  own.(Matthew 631-34)

18
What are we supposedto seek first?What does
that looklike in real life?
19

• Do not be anxious about anything,but in
  everything,by prayer and petition,with
  thanksgiving,present your requests to God.And
  the peace of God,which transcends all
  understanding,will guard your hearts and
  mindsin Christ Jesus.(Philippians 46-7)
