Matthew 6:25-27

The Sermon on the Mount: Anxiety

25 "For this [reason] I say to you, do not be anxious for your life, what you will eat, and not for your body, what you will wear. Is your life not more than food and your body [more than] clothing?
26 Consider the birds of the sky, that they do not sow or reap or gather [produce] into barns, and your heavenly Father feeds them. Are you not worth more than they [are]?
27 And who among you, [by] being anxious, is able to add one hour to his life span?
