Matthew 6:25-34
Therefore I say unto you, Be not anxious 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 the food, and the body than the raiment?Behold the birds of the heaven, that they sow not, neither do they reap, nor gather into barns; and your heavenly Father feedeth them. Are not ye of much more value than they?And which of you by being anxious can add one cubit unto the measure of his life?And why are ye anxious concerning raiment? Consider the lilies of the field, how they grow; they toil not, neither do they spin:yet I say unto you, that even Solomon in all his glory was not arrayed like one of these.But if God doth 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?Be not therefore anxious, saying, What shall we eat? or, What shall we drink? or, Wherewithal shall we be clothed?For after all these things do the Gentiles seek; for your heavenly Father knoweth that ye have need of all these things.But seek ye first his kingdom, and his righteousness; and all these things shall be added unto you.Be not therefore anxious for the morrow: for the morrow will be anxious for itself. Sufficient unto the day is the evil thereof.

Luke 21:34
But take heed to yourselves, lest haply your hearts be overcharged with surfeiting, and drunkenness, and cares of this life, and that day come on you suddenly as a snare:

1 Corinthians 7 32-1 Corinthians 7 35
But I would have you to be free from cares. He that is unmarried is careful for the things of the Lord, how he may please the Lord:but he that is married is careful for the things of the world, how he may please his wife,and is divided. So also the woman that is unmarried and the virgin is careful for the things of the Lord, that she may be holy both in body and in spirit: but she that is married is careful for the things of the world, how she may please her husband.And this I say for your own profit; not that I may cast a snare upon you, but for that which is seemly, and that ye may attend upon the Lord without distraction.
