Worry

As for the donkeys you lost three days ago, do not worry about them, for they have been found. And upon whom is all the desire of Israel, if not upon you and all your father’s house?”

He is like a tree planted by the waters that sends out its roots toward the stream. It does not fear when the heat comes, and its leaves are always green. It does not worry in a year of drought, nor does it cease to produce fruit.

Therefore I tell you, do not worry about your life, what you will eat or drink; or about your body, what you will wear. Is not life more than food, and the body more than clothes?

And why do you worry about clothes? Consider how the lilies of the field grow: They do not labor or spin.

Therefore do not worry, saying, ‘What shall we eat?’ or ‘What shall we drink?’ or ‘What shall we wear?’

Therefore do not worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will worry about itself. Today has enough trouble of its own.

Therefore do not worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will worry about itself. Today has enough trouble of its own.

But when they hand you over, do not worry about how to respond or what to say. In that hour you will be given what to say.

But when they arrest you and hand you over, do not worry beforehand what to say. Instead, speak whatever you are given at that time, for it will not be you speaking, but the Holy Spirit.

When you are brought before synagogues, rulers, and authorities, do not worry about how to defend yourselves or what to say.

Then Jesus said to His disciples, “Therefore I tell you, do not worry about your life, what you will eat, or about your body, what you will wear.

So if you cannot do such a small thing, why do you worry about the rest?

And do not be concerned about what you will eat or drink. Do not worry about it.

So make up your mind not to worry beforehand how to defend yourselves.
