Matthew 6 : 27-34

   
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...


Our great God,

Still hidden and yet so evident and near,
we thank you that you are at work in us before we think of asking.
We thank you that you hold us by the hand and
lead us before we are aware of it.
Stay with us in this way and awaken our hearts at the right moment,
that we are not surprised by the painful things we experience
but can be prepared at all times to watch and pray,
trusting that we are not forsaken in the constant strife on this earth.
Grant us hope,
O God, that the time is coming when all people will hear the proclamation,
“See, a new heaven and a new earth,
because you have learned to see God’s honor in everything.”



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

Amen
