"Take no thought for your life, what ye shall eat, or what ye shall drink; not yet for your body, what ye shall put on." Matthew 6:25

One there lives whose guardian eye
Guides our earthly destiny;
One there lives who, Lord of all,
Keeps His children least they fall;
Pass we, then, in love and praise,
Trusting Him through all our days
Free from doubt and faithless sorrow -
God provideth for the morrow.

- Reginald Heber

It has been well said that no man ever sank under the burden of the day. It is when tomorrow's burden is added to the burden of today that the weight is more than a man can bear. Never load yourselves so, my friends. If you find yourselves so loaded, at least remember this; it is your own doing, not God's. He begs you to leave the future to Him, and mind the present. - George MacDonald

Cast thy burdens upon the Lord - hand it over, heave it upon Him - and He shall sustain thee; bear both, if thou trust Him with both, both thee and thy burden; he shall never suffer the righteous to be moved. - Robert Leighton
