Matthew 6:21 – Don’t Be Anxious About Your Life
Therefore I tell you, do not be anxious about your life, what you shall eat or what you shall drink, nor about your body, what you shall put on. Is not life more than food, and the body more than clothing?

Reflection
Let not the needs of your life and those of others ever remove you from the union with God
