Do not be worried. Christ does not here forbid looking to the future and being ready to meet its challenge. But you should avoid being "worried sick" about material things that are continually being used up. God gave us life, and that is more important than food. God gave us our body, and that is more important than clothes. Therefore trust God to make food and clothing available.
