Ecclesiastes 1:13-14. I applied my heart to seek and to search out by wisdom concerning all that is done under the sky.

For you load men with burdens that are difficult to carry, and you yourselves won’t even lift one finger to help carry those burdens.”
Matthew 6:31-34. “Don’t be anxious, saying, ‘What will we eat?’, ‘What will we drink?’ or, ‘With what will we be clothed?’ For the Gentiles seek after all these things; for your heavenly Father knows that you need all these things. But seek first God’s Kingdom, and his righteousness; and all these things will be given to you as well. Therefore don’t be anxious for tomorrow, for tomorrow will be anxious for itself. Each day’s own evil is sufficient.”
