You gave me life and showed me kindness, and in your care you watched over my life.
You have been merciful and kind to me and have saved my life. But I can’t run to the mountains. The disaster will catch me, and I will die.
You dressed me with skin and flesh; you sewed me together with bones and muscles.
The Spirit of God created me, and the breath of the Almighty gave me life.
“So I tell you, don’t worry about the food or drink you need to live, or about the clothes you need for your body. Life is more than food, and the body is more than clothes.
This God is the One who gives life, breath, and everything else to people. He does not need any help from them; he has everything he needs.
‘By his power we live and move and exist.’ Some of your own poets have said: ‘For we are his children.’
