Held Dear

Obviously this in no way advocates a sinful kind of idleness (Proverbs 19:15).  Birds are not idle either.  But it is God who provides them with food to eat.

Commentary from the MacArthur study Bible, notes for Matthew 6:26.

In Time of Trouble

Be anxious for nothing,

but in everything by prayer

and supplication,

with thanksgiving,

let your requests be made known to God;

Philippians 4:6

Seek Him.

Seek the kingdom of God

He knows our need, do not have an anxious mind.

He knows our need

And do not seek what you should eat

or what you should drink,

nor have an anxious mind.

Luke 12:29

Be Anxious for Nothing

Fret and worry indicate a lack of trust in God’s wisdom, sovereignty, or power.  Delighting in the Lord and meditating on His Word are a great antidote to anxiety (Psalm 1:2).  

Commentary from the MacArthur study Bible, notes for Philippians 4:6.

Fearless

Do not be anxious about anything,

but in every situation, by prayer and petition,

with thanksgiving, present your requests to God. 

Philippians 4:6
