Day 15
Hebrews 10:16
"This is the covenant I will
make with them. After that time, says the Lord, I will put my laws in their
hearts and I will write them on their minds."
Matt 6
9"This, then, is how you should pray:
" 'Our Father in heaven,
hallowed be your name,
10your kingdom come,
your will be done
on earth as it is in heaven.
11Give
us today our daily bread.
12Forgive us our debts,
as we also have forgiven our debtors.
13And lead us not into temptation,
but deliver us from the evil one.
Matt 7
25"Therefore I
tell you, do not worry about your life, what you will eat or drink; or about
your body, what you will wear. Is not life more important than food, and the
body more important than clothes?
26Look at the birds of the air;
they do not sow or reap or store away in barns, and yet your heavenly Father
feeds them. Are you not much more valuable than they?
27Who of you by worrying can add a
single hour to his life[1]
?
28"And why do you worry about clothes? See how the lilies of
the field grow. They do not labor or spin.
29Yet I tell you that not even
Solomon in all his splendor was dressed like one of
these
. 30If that is how God
clothes the grass of the field, which is here today and tomorrow is thrown into
the fire, will he not much more clothe you, O you of little faith?
31So do not worry, saying, 'What
shall we eat?' or 'What shall we drink?' or 'What shall we wear?'
32For the pagans run after all
these things, and your heavenly Father knows that you
need them.
33But seek first his kingdom and
his righteousness, and all these things will be given
to you as well
. 34Therefore do not
worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will worry about itself. Each day has enough
trouble of its own.
