Read Matthew 6:25 in the NABRE onlineTherefore I say to you, be not solicitous for your life, what you shall eat, nor for your body, what you shall put on. Is not the life more than the meat: and the body more than the raiment?
Reflection
Jesus says take no thought for your life — food, drink, the body. He is not forbidding provision; he is forbidding the kind of worry that tries to control tomorrow before it arrives. The life is more than the food.
