Matthew 6:28-30 ESV

And why are you anxious about clothing? Consider the lilies of the field, how they grow: they neither toil nor spin,  yet I tell you, even Solomon in all his glory was not arrayed like one of these.  But if God so clothes the grass of the field, which today is alive and tomorrow is thrown into the oven, will he not much more clothe you, O you of little faith?

How many of our clothes can rival the beauty of the wild flowers in the field? Take a close look at a flower & its petals, Such elegance and softness, such fine and detailed texture, such variety of shape and size that God dressed them. Not even Solomon the richest and wisest king ever lived was dressed like these.

As Jesus said, we are much more valuable than these wild flowers. We are His children, He is our Heavenly Father. Thus He cares for us much more than these flowers. If He cares for their food, drink, or clothing, He cares for ours also. And much more, He cares for our life & our body, for our maturing & learning, so we can see the light of life, and become like Christ, become His image as He originally designed (Genesis 1-2).

So we ought not to worry, God cares for us. Being anxious is lacking faith.
