READ LUKE 12:29-32.<br />
Do not set your heart on what you<br />

your Father knows that you need<br />
them. But seek his kingdom, and<br />
these things will be given to you as<br />
well. Do not be afraid, little flock,<br />
for your Father has been pleased<br />
to give you the kingdom.<br />

everything in heaven and earth is yours. Yours, Lord, is the kingdom; you are exalted as<br />
head over all. Wealth and honor come from you; you are the ruler of all things. In your<br />
hands are strength and power to exalt and give strength to all. Now, our God, we give<br />
you thanks, and praise your glorious name.<br />
