"Therefore I say unto you, Take no thought for your life, what ye shall eat, or what ye shall drink; nor yet for your body, what ye shall put on. Is not the life more than meat, and the body than raiment?" and (v32) "(For after all these things do the Gentiles seek:) for your heavenly Father knoweth that ye have need of all these things."  If we trust the Lord with all our hearts, why worry when God has promised to supply all our needs. When we worry we must ask ourselves, are we trusting God?
