Do not worry about your life, what you shall eat or what you shall drink;
Nor about your body, what you shall put on. Is not life more than food, the body more than clothing?
Look at the birds of the air, they do not reap or sow or gather into barns, and your heavenly Father feeds them. Are you not worth more than they?
By worrying, which of you can add one single hour to your lifespan?
Observe how the lilies of the field grow; they do not toil nor spin, yet
I tell you that not even Solomon, in all his glory, was arrayed 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 will clothe you? You men of little faith!
Do not worry, then saying 'what shall we eat?' or 'what shall we drink?' or "what shall we wear for clothing?'
For the Gentiles eagerly seek all these things. Your Father knows 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 it's own.
Or if I may make a suggestion, just leave that last sentence out altogether, or maybe we could say,
Each day has enough treasure of it's own.
