Matthew 6:31 Context
29And yet I say vnto you, that euen Solomon in all his glory, was not arayed like one of these. 30Wherefore, if God so clothe the grasse of the field, which to day is, and to morrow is cast into the ouen: shall he not much more clothe you, O yee of little faith? 31Therefore take no thought, saying, What shall we eate? or, what shall we drinke? or wherewithall shall wee be clothed? 32(For after all these things doe the Gentiles seeke:) for your heauenly father knoweth that ye haue neede of all these things. 33But seeke ye first the kingdome of God, and his righteousnesse, and all these things shalbe added vnto you.

Wesley's Notes for Matthew 6:31
6:31 Therefore take not thought - How kind are these precepts! The substance of which is only this, Do thyself no harm! Let us not be so ungrateful to him, nor so injurious to ourselves, as to harass and oppress our minds with that burden of anxiety, which he has so graciously taken off. Every verse speaks at once to the understanding, and to the heart. We will not therefore indulge these unnecessary, these useless, these mischievous cares. We will not borrow the anxieties and distresses of the morrow, to aggravate those of the present day. Rather we will cheerfully repose ourselves on that heavenly Father, who knows we have need of these things; who has given us the life, which is more than meat, and the body, which is more than raiment. And thus instructed in the philosophy of our heavenly Master, we will learn a lesson of faith and cheer. fulness from every bird of the air, and every flower of the field.
