Matthew 6:33 (New International Version) But seek first his kingdom and his righteousness, and all these things will be given to you as well.
Matthew 6:33 (The Message)Steep your life in God-reality, God-initiative, God-provisions. Don't worry about missing out. You'll find all your everyday human concerns will be met.
Matthew 6:33 (New Living Translation)....and he will give you all you need from day to day if you live for him and make the Kingdom of God your primary concern.

Love it! So true too! People who don't have faith have a hard time with this one. Selfish people! Love God, trust God, thank God. Thanks for the scripture, I don't read enough of my bible, but I should! I have been praying really hard in the morning on my drive to work. I repeat verses over and over again with volume and strength. By the time I get to work, I am like a preacher!
Love OC but then who doens't.
I have heard it said and believe it to be true (don't ask how I know:) that "almost all pain is caused by holding on"......
I needed that SO much!
Amen, that puts things into perspective, pain comes from holding on. Thanks for posting that, it was surely needed today. Thanks for the comments also...Thanks to you are posted on the blog.
