Matthew 6:25-34
“For this reason, I say to you,
do not be worried about your life,
as to what you will eat or what you will drink;
nor for your body, as to what you will put on.
Is not life more than food, and the body more than clothing?
Look at the birds of the air, that they do not sow, nor reap nor gather into barns,
and yet your heavenly Father feeds them.
Are you not worth much more than they?
And who of you by being worried can add a single hour to his life?
And why are you worried about clothing?
Observe how the lilies of the field grow;
they do not toil nor do they spin,
yet I say to you that not even Solomon in all his glory clothed himself like one of these.
But if God so clothes the grass of the field,
which is alive today and tomorrow is thrown into the furnace,
will He not much more clothe you?
You of little faith!
Do not worry then, saying,
‘What will we eat?’
or ‘What will we drink?’
or ‘What will we wear for clothing?’
For the Gentiles eagerly seek all these things;
for your heavenly Father knows that you need all these things.
But seek first His kingdom and His righteousness, and all these things will be added to you.”
¶ “So do not worry about tomorrow; for tomorrow will care for itself.
Each day has enough trouble of its own.”
Matthew 7:7-12-14
“Ask, and it will be given to you;
seek, and you will find;
knock, and it will be opened to you.
For everyone who asks receives,
and he who seeks finds,
and to him who knocks it will be opened.
Or what man is there among you who, when his son asks for a loaf, will give him a stone?
Or if he asks for a fish, he will not give him a snake, will he?
If you then, being evil, know how to give good gifts to your children, how much more will your Father who is in heaven give what is good to those who ask Him!”
In everything, therefore, treat people the same way you want them to treat you, for this is the Law and the Prophets.”
“Enter through the narrow gate;
for the gate is wide and the way is broad that leads to destruction,
and there are many who enter through it.
For the gate is small and the way is narrow that leads to life, and there are few who find it.”

Jesus lays out the pathway for us to live with out anxiety,
How to live without worry.
Really boils down Matthew 6:33
“But seek first His kingdom and His righteousness, and all these things will be added to you.
And He follows that up with 6:34
“So do not worry about tomorrow;
for tomorrow will care for itself.
Each day has enough trouble of its own.”
Matthew 7:7
“Ask, and it will be given to you;
seek, and you will find;
knock, and it will be opened to you.
For everyone who asks receives, and he who seeks finds, and to him who knocks it will be opened.
If you believe in Christ Jesus and have asked Him in to your heart, If you go by the name Christian,
Then you should take the words of Jesus and apply them to your life.
Jesus tells us He will take care of all our needs, ALL.
We do not need wealth,
We do not need name brand clothing.
We do not need gourmet meals.
We do not need the latest electronic devises.
We do not need worldly positions.
What we need is a relationship with Christ our LORD.
But in this country, it seems most are so concerned and busy going about gathering and collecting things that Christ is left out of our reassigning,
He seems to be left out of our daily lives because we are running after worldly things rather than Him.
Christ Jesus straight out tells us to;
Seek first His kingdom and His righteousness,
And He will take care of our needs.
Simple and to the point.
But rather than to trust Him, rather than to put our trust and faith in Him, We tend to lean on our own understanding and set out to do all things on our own.
But yet will say “I trust the Lord”
Look at your life:
What is your faith set in?
Where is your trust seated?
If they are in Christ Jesus,
Then why are you striving for what you need?
Answer;
What you are striving after is not what you really need.
But what you want.
First words found in the Bible:
"In the beginning God."
This is how our lives should start each and every day.
First thing every morning with our heart, mind and soul, we should first and foremost, seek the kingdom of God and His righteousness.
As for the rest, it will come from the Lord Himself without your being anxious.
All that is needful for us shall be added to our lives by Him, our LORD.
Christ Jesus promise to provide what we have need of; Food, clothing, shelter, and so forth,
He will provide our needs as we seek after Him and His Kingdome, His righteousness.
Set all your mind on seeking the Lord.
Coveting things will only lead you in to poverty, anxiety and leaving in misery:
trusting in God will lead you to the narrow path that leads to the small gate and life.
“Enter through the narrow gate; for the gate is wide and the way is broad that leads to destruction, and there are many who enter through it. For the gate is small and the way is narrow that leads to life, and there are few who find it.”
Think about what you do and why you do it.
