Anxiety

The Cure for Anxiety

²⁵ "For ^R207 this reason I say to you, do ^F111 not be worried ^R208 about your life, ^F112 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? ²⁶ "Look ^R209 at the birds of the air, ^F113 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? ²⁷ "And who of you by being worried ^R210 can add ^R211 a single hour ^F114 to his life? ^{F115 28} "And why are you worried ^R212 about clothing? Observe how the lilies of the field grow; they do not toil nor do they spin, ²⁹ yet I say to you that not even Solomon ^R213 in all his glory clothed himself like one of these. ³⁰ "But if God so clothes the grass ^R214 of the field, which is alive today and tomorrow is thrown into the furnace, will He not much more clothe you? You ^R215 of little faith! ³¹ "Do not worry ^R216 then, saying, `What will we eat?' or `What will we drink?' or `What will we wear for clothing?' ³² "For the Gentiles eagerly seek all these things; for your ^R217 heavenly Father knows that you need all these things. ³³ "But seek ^F116 first His ^F117 kingdom and His righteousness, and all ^R218 these things will be added ^F118 to you.

³⁴ "So do not worry ^R219 about tomorrow; for tomorrow will care ^F119 for itself. Each ^F120 day has enough trouble of its own.

Mat 13:22

"And the one on whom seed was sown among the thorns, this is the man who hears the word, and the worry of the world and the deceitfulness of wealth choke the word, and it becomes unfruitful.

1 Timothy 6:6-12 - [Verse 6 in Original Greek]

6 But ^R225 godliness {actually} is a means of great ^R226 gain when accompanied by contentment. ^R227 7 For we ^R228 have brought nothing into the world, so we cannot take anything out of it either. 8 If we have ^R229 food and covering, with these we shall be content. 9 But ^R230 those who want to get rich fall into temptation and a ^R231 snare and many foolish and harmful desires which plunge men into ruin and destruction. 10 For the ^R232 love of money is a root of all sorts ^F58 of evil, and some by longing for it have wandered ^R233 away from the faith and pierced themselves with many griefs. 11 But flee ^R234 from these things, you man ^R235 of God, and pursue righteousness, godliness, faith, ^R236 love, ^R237 perseverance ^F59 {and} gentleness. 12 Fight ^R238 the good fight of faith; ^R239 take ^R240 hold of the eternal life to ^R241 which you were called, and you made the good confession ^R242 in the presence of many ^R243 witnesses.
