Then, turning to his disciples, Jesus said, “That is why I tell you not to worry about everyday life—whether you have enough food to eat or enough clothes to wear.
“And when you are brought to trial in the synagogues and before rulers and authorities, don’t worry about how to defend yourself or what to say,
For life is more than food, and your body more than clothing.
“And don’t be concerned about what to eat and what to drink. Don’t worry about such things.
I want you to be free from the concerns of this life. An unmarried man can spend his time doing the Lord’s work and thinking how to please him.
Don’t worry about anything; instead, pray about everything. Tell God what you need, and thank him for all he has done.
Don’t love money; be satisfied with what you have. For God has said, “I will never fail you. I will never abandon you.”
