![]() ![]() (ages 18 years or older) suffer from some form of anxiety disorder. Sufficient for the day is its own trouble."Īccording to the Anxiety and Depression Association of America (ADAA), over 40 million adults in the U.S. Therefore do not be anxious about tomorrow, for tomorrow will be anxious for itself. But seek first the kingdom of God and his righteousness, and all these things will be added to you. But if God so clothes the grass of the field, which today is alive and tomorrow is thrown into the oven, will he not much more clothe you, O you of little faith? Therefore do not be anxious, saying, ‘What shall we eat?’ or ‘What shall we drink?’ or ‘What shall we wear?’ For the Gentiles seek after all these things, and your heavenly Father knows that you need them all. ![]() Are you not of more value than they? And which of you by being anxious can add a single hour to his span of life? And why are you anxious about clothing? Consider the lilies of the field, how they grow: they neither toil nor spin, yet I tell you, even Solomon in all his glory was not arrayed like one of these. Is not life more than food, and the body more than clothing? Look at the birds of the air: they neither sow nor reap nor gather into barns, and yet your heavenly Father feeds them.

When “careful (or ‘full of care’) about nothing,” but committing all in prayer and supplication with thanksgiving unto God, the apostle assures us that “the peace of God, which passeth all understanding, shall keep our hearts and minds in Christ Jesus” (Php 4:6,7) that is, shall guard both our feelings and our thoughts from undue agitation, and keep them in a holy calm. (See Php 4:6).įor your life, what ye shall eat, or what ye shall drink nor yet for your body, what ye shall put on–In Luke (Lu 12:29) our Lord adds, “neither be ye unsettled”–not “of doubtful mind,” as in our version. It is that anxious solicitude, that oppressive care, which springs from unbelieving doubts and misgivings, which alone is here condemned. Thought or forethought, for temporal things–in the sense of reflection, consideration–is required alike by Scripture and common sense. But this sense of the word has now nearly gone out, and so the mere English reader is apt to be perplexed. Therefore I say unto you, Take no thought–“Be not solicitous.” The English word “thought,” when our version was made, expressed this idea of “solicitude,” “anxious concern”–as may be seen in any old English classic and in the same sense it is used in 1Sa 9:5, &c. enduo/ Is /esti/ not /ouchi/ the life /psuche/ more than /pleion/ meat, /trophe/ and /kai/ the body /soma/ than raiment /enduma/?

Is not life more than food and the body more than clothing? “Therefore I say to you, do not worry about your life, what you will eat or what you will drink nor about your body, what you will put on. Is not life more than food, and the body more than clothing? Therefore I say to you, Do not be anxious for your life, what you shall eat, or what you shall drink nor for your body, what you shall put on. Is not the life more than meat, and the body than raiment?
