Matthew 6:31-32 | Bible Verse and Affirmation for Overthinking

Therefore do not worry, saying, ‘What shall we eat?’ or ‘What shall we drink?’ or ‘What shall we wear?’ For the Gentiles strive after all these things, and your heavenly Father knows that you need them.

Matthew 6:31-32 · BSB

Reflection

Jesus lists the endless questions: what shall we eat, drink, wear? Then He gives one answer: your heavenly Father knows you need them. The loop in your head has an answer, and it's His care.

A prayer

Father, You already know what I need. Help me stop running the same questions through my head.
