Matthew 6 : 26-34

   
26 Behold the fowls of the air:
for they sow not, neither do they reap,
nor gather into barns;
yet your heavenly Father feedeth them.
Are ye not much better than they?
27 Which of you by taking thought can add 

one cubit unto his stature?
28 And why take ye thought for raiment?
Consider the lilies of the field,
how they grow; they toil not,
neither do they spin:
29 And yet I say unto you,
That even Solomon in all his glory 

was not arrayed like one of these.
30 Wherefore, if God so clothe the grass of the field,
which to day is, and to morrow is cast into the oven,
shall he not much more clothe you,
O ye of little faith?
31 Therefore take no thought, saying,
What shall we eat? or,
What shall we drink? or,
Wherewithal shall we be clothed?
32 (For after all these things do the Gentiles seek: )
for your heavenly Father knoweth 

that ye have need of all these things.
33 But seek ye first the kingdom of God,
and his righteousness;
and all these things shall be added unto you.
34 Take therefore no thought for the morrow:
for the morrow shall take thought 

for the things of itself.
Sufficient unto the day is the evil thereof.




Today's Prayer...


Dear Father in heaven,

We thank you that we may be your children.
We thank you for giving us your Spirit so that
we may truly be your children.
Gather us into community with you so that our
minds and hearts and all that is in us may realize
what joy can come to us through your gifts.
Though the world today is in turmoil, in doubt,
lost in material things,
grant us inner quiet to receive from you the power of faith.
For through faith we can learn to know what you
are and what you will be to all humankind one day,
through Jesus Christ the Lord.



In the Name of the Most Holy we
pray in Jesus' Name

Amen
