Proverbs 12:25
25Anxiety
in a man’s heart
weighs him down, but a
good word makes him glad.
Proverbs 25:28
28Like
a city that is broken into and
without walls is a man who has no
control over his spirit.
Matthew 6:25-34
25“Therefore
I tell you, do not
be anxious about your life,
what you will eat or what you
will drink, nor about your
body, what you will put on. Is
not life more than food, and
the body more than clothing?
Matthew 6:25-34
26“Look
at the birds of the air:
they neither sow nor reap nor
gather into barns, and yet
your heavenly Father feeds
them. Are you not of more
value than they? 27And which
of you by being anxious can
add a single hour to his span
of life?
Matthew 6:25-34
28“And
why are you anxious
about clothing? Consider the
lilies of the field, how they
grow: they neither toil nor
spin, 29yet I tell you, even
Solomon in all his glory was
not arrayed like one of these.
Matthew 6:25-34
30“But
if God so clothes the
grass of the field, which today
is alive and tomorrow is
thrown into the oven, will he
not much more clothe you, O
you of little faith?
Matthew 6:25-34
31“Therefore
do not be
anxious, saying, ‘What shall
we eat?’ or ‘What shall we
drink?’ or ‘What shall we
wear?’ 32For the Gentiles seek
after all these things, and your
heavenly Father knows that
you need them all.
Matthew 6:25-34
33“But
seek first the kingdom
of God and his righteousness,
and all these things will be
added to you.
Matthew 6:25-34
34“Therefore
do not be
anxious about tomorrow, for
tomorrow will be anxious for
itself. Sufficient for the day is
its own trouble.”
