Psalms 23:1

       A Psalm of David.
      1.   The LORD is my shepherd; I shall not want.
      2   He maketh me to lie down in green pastures: he leadeth me beside the still waters.
      3   He restoreth my soul: he leadeth me in the paths of righteousness for his name's sake.
      4   Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil: for thou art with me; thy rod and thy staff they comfort me.
      5   Thou preparest a table before me in the presence of mine enemies: thou anointest my head with oil; my cup runneth over.
      6   Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me all the days of my life: and I will dwell in the house of the LORD for ever.

Psalms 55:22

       22 Cast thy burden upon the LORD, and he shall sustain thee: he shall never suffer the righteous to be moved.

Matthew 6:16-23

       16.   Moreover when ye fast, be not, as the hypocrites, of a sad countenance: for they disfigure their faces, that they may appear unto men to fast. Verily I say unto you, They have their reward.
      17   But thou, when thou fastest, anoint thine head, and wash thy face;
      18   That thou appear not unto men to fast, but unto thy Father which is in secret: and thy Father, which seeth in secret, shall reward thee openly.
      19.   Lay not up for yourselves treasures upon earth, where moth and rust doth corrupt, and where thieves break through and steal:
      20   But lay up for yourselves treasures in heaven, where neither moth nor rust doth corrupt, and where thieves do not break through nor steal:
      21   For where your treasure is, there will your heart be also.
      22   The light of the body is the eye: if therefore thine eye be single, thy whole body shall be full of light.
      23   But if thine eye be evil, thy whole body shall be full of darkness. If therefore the light that is in thee be darkness, how great is that darkness!

Matthew 6:24-34

       24   No man can serve two masters: for either he will hate the one, and love the other; or else he will hold to the one, and despise the other. Ye cannot serve God and mammon.
      25.   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?
      26   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?
      27   Which of you by taking thought can add one cubit unto his stature?
      28   And why take ye thought for raiment? Consider the lilies of the field, how they grow; they toil not, neither do they spin:
      29   And yet I say unto you, That even Solomon in all his glory was not arrayed like one of these.
      30   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?
      31   Therefore take no thought, saying, What shall we eat? or, What shall we drink? or, Wherewithal shall we be clothed?
      32   (For after all these things do the Gentiles seek:) for your heavenly Father knoweth that ye have need of all these things.
      33   But seek ye first the kingdom of God, and his righteousness; and all these things shall be added unto you.
      34   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.

Luke 12:22-31

       22.   And he said unto his disciples, Therefore I say unto you, Take no thought for your life, what ye shall eat; neither for the body, what ye shall put on.
      23   The life is more than meat, and the body is more than raiment.
      24   Consider the ravens: for they neither sow nor reap; which neither have storehouse nor barn; and God feedeth them: how much more are ye better than the fowls?
      25   And which of you with taking thought can add to his stature one cubit?
      26   If ye then be not able to do that thing which is least, why take ye thought for the rest?
      27   Consider the lilies how they grow: they toil not, they spin not; and yet I say unto you, that Solomon in all his glory was not arrayed like one of these.
      28   If then God so clothe the grass, which is to day in the field, and to morrow is cast into the oven; how much more will he clothe you, O ye of little faith?
      29   And seek not ye what ye shall eat, or what ye shall drink, neither be ye of doubtful mind.
      30   For all these things do the nations of the world seek after: and your Father knoweth that ye have need of these things.
      31   But rather seek ye the kingdom of God; and all these things shall be added unto you.

Luke 16:9-13

       9   And I say unto you, Make to yourselves friends of the mammon of unrighteousness; that, when ye fail, they may receive you into everlasting habitations.
      10   He that is faithful in that which is least is faithful also in much: and he that is unjust in the least is unjust also in much.
      11   If therefore ye have not been faithful in the unrighteous mammon, who will commit to your trust the true riches?
      12   And if ye have not been faithful in that which is another man's, who shall give you that which is your own?
      13   No servant can serve two masters: for either he will hate the one, and love the other; or else he will hold to the one, and despise the other. Ye cannot serve God and mammon.

1 Peter 5:7

       7   Casting all your care upon him; for he careth for you.
