This may well be my favorite passage. H
"Your priorities also determine your anxiety level. Quit worrying about everyday cares, what you are going to eat or drink, what clothes you are going to put on and that sort of thing. Living is far more important than food, and your body more important than clothes. Look around at your fellow creatures here on earth. You don't see the birds planting and harvesting and storing up their seeds, yet God takes care of them. Don't you think God cares for you more than them? It's also pretty silly to fret about how long you are going to live. Worrying won't extend your life, if anything it will shorten it. Take a gander at the wild flowers along side the road; pretty aren't they. Solomon with all his wealth and advantages was never decked out in finery like that. Well, if God takes care of those beautiful things which have a rather short life span, a single season; surely God will take care of you. Have you no faith in God? So, don't sweat the little stuff, clothes, food, drink and the like. Unbelievers worry about those things, but God knows you need them. Your first priority should always be God and being a good citizen in God's kingdom. As a citizen of that kingdom, you will receive all that you need. Don't get all excited about tomorrow, it will come soon enough. First, deal with the issues of the day, there are plenty of them to deal with.
