Anxiety Is A Sin (Matthew 6:25-34, Philippians 4:6, etc.)

 Matthew 6:25-34 says:

"Therefore I say unto you, Take no thought for your life, what ye shall eat, or what ye shall drink; nor yet for your body, what ye shall put on. Is not the life more than meat, and the body than raiment? Behold the fowls of the air: for they sow not, neither do they reap, nor gather into barns; yet your heavenly Father feedeth them. Are ye not much better than they? Which of you by taking thought can add one cubit unto his stature? And why take ye thought for raiment? Consider the lilies of the field, how they grow; they toil not, neither do they spin: And yet I say unto you, That even Solomon in all his glory was not arrayed like one of these. 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? Therefore take no thought, saying, What shall we eat? or, What shall we drink? or, Wherewithal shall we be clothed? (For after all these things do the Gentiles seek:) for your heavenly Father knoweth that ye have need of all these things. But seek ye first the kingdom of God, and his righteousness; and all these things shall be added unto you. 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."

Philippians 4:6 says:

"Be careful for nothing; but in every thing by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known unto God."

It is a COMMAND of Jesus for us to not worry.  Now, this is not to say that we are to be careless in our activities in life.  I Corinthians 14:20 says that we are to be mature adults in our thinking.  However, "to take thought", as the KJV says, means to be anxious, and Jesus Himself gives an example of what is anxiety.  If you say "What are we going to eat?" or "What are we going to drink?" or "What are we going to wear?", it is anxiety, and it is sin.  In any situation, if you say, "What do we do?" in worry, it is anxiety, and it is sin.

So how do we not worry?

Read this again:

But seek ye first the kingdom of God, and his righteousness; and all these things shall be added unto you. 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.

(Mat 6:33-34)
