“So I tell you, do not worry about [the material things of] your life, [such as] what you will eat or what you will drink, or about what you will wear on your body. There are more important things in life than food, and more important things about your body than the clothing you wear.
And which one of you can worry yourself into living a single day longer?
“Consider how [wild] lilies grow; they do not work or weave, yet I tell you, even Solomon, clothed in his very finest royal robes, was never dressed [as luxuriously] as one of these [flowers].
So, do not look [anxiously] for what you will eat, and what you will drink, and do not be [continually] worried [i.e., about such things].
Place all your anxious cares upon God [in prayer], because He genuinely cares about you.
