They cry out and Yahweh hears
and delivers them from all of their troubles.
Cast your burden on Yahweh,
and he will sustain you.
He will never allow the righteous to be moved.
Commit your work to Yahweh,
and your plans will be established.
You will protect a firm inclination in peace,
in peace because he trusts in you.
When you pass through the waters, I will be with you,
and through the rivers, they shall not flow over you.
When you walk through fire, you shall not be burned,
and the flame shall not scorch you.
“For this reason I say to you, do not be anxious for your life, what you will eat, and not for your body, what you will wear. Is your life not more than food and your body more than clothing?
Consider the birds of the sky, that they do not sow or reap or gather produce into barns, and your heavenly Father feeds them. Are you not worth more than they are?
And who among you, by being anxious, is able to add one hour to his life span?
And why are you anxious about clothing? Observe the lilies of the field, how they grow: they do not toil or spin,
but I say to you that not even Solomon in all his glory was dressed like one of these.
But if God dresses the grass of the field in this way, although it is here today and tomorrow is thrown into the oven, will he not do so much more for you, you of little faith?
Therefore do not be anxious, saying, ‘What will we eat?’ or ‘What will we drink?’ or ‘What will we wear?,’
for the pagans seek after all these things. For your heavenly Father knows that you need all these things.
But seek first his kingdom and righteousness, and all these things will be added to you.
Therefore do not be anxious for tomorrow, because tomorrow will be anxious for itself. Each day has enough trouble of its own.
“But take care for yourselves, lest your hearts are weighed down with dissipation and drunkenness and the worries of daily life, and that day come upon you suddenly
Be anxious for nothing, but in everything by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known to God.
And the peace of God that surpasses all understanding will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus.
Humble yourselves therefore under the mighty hand of God, so that he may exalt you at the right time,
casting all your cares on him, because he cares for you.
