Worry Not

Jesus said, “Worry not for daily care,
of food, or how you look in what you wear.
     The birds they do not sow
     for seeds to sprout and grow,
yet God does feed them though they don't prepare.”

“Can you extend your life by just one hour
through worry? Do you have it in your power?
     See the lilies how they grow
     to display a glorious show.
God knows your need like any bird or flower.”

Luke 12.22-30
