Seek, and you will find.

Knock, and the door will be opened to you.

For everyone who asks will receive,

and he who seeks will find,

and the door will be opened to anyone who knocks.

Would any of you who are fathers

give a snake to your son when he asks for a fish?

Or give a scorpion when he asks for an egg?

As bad as you are, you know how to give good things to your children.

How much more, then, would your Heavenly Father

give the Holy Spirit to those who ask Him.

I tell you this,

Take no thought in your life for what you shall eat.

Nor for your body as to what you shall wear.

For life is more than food,

and the body more than clothing.

Consider the ravens,

They neither sow nor reap,

have neither storehouse or barn,

Yet God feeds them.

Of how much more worth are you than the birds.

Which of you by being anxious, can add to the length of your life?

If you cannot do such a small thing,

why do you worry about the rest?

Look at the lilies, how they grow.

They neither toil nor spin,

Yet King Solomon in all his glory

was not arrayed like a single one of them.

If God,

Who clothes the wild grass today, which tomorrow is thrown onto a fire,

How much more sure is He to clothe you,

Oh you of little faith.

Make our faith greater.

If you had faith as big as a mustard seed,

you could say to this tree; Pull yourself up by the roots

and plant yourself in the sea, and it would obey you.
