Jesus said to his followers, “So I tell you, don’t worry about the food you need to live, or about the clothes you need for your body.
“When you are brought into the synagogues before the leaders and other powerful people, don’t worry about how to defend yourself or what to say.
Life is more than food, and the body is more than clothes.
Don’t always think about what you will eat or what you will drink, and don’t keep worrying.
I want you to be free from worry. A man who is not married is busy with the Lord’s work, trying to please the Lord.
Do not worry about anything, but pray and ask God for everything you need, always giving thanks.
Keep your lives free from the love of money, and be satisfied with what you have. God has said, “I will never leave you; I will never abandon you.”
