The passage in its setting

Meeting God in a verse begins with hearing it where it lives, in the flow of Matthew 6. Read it slowly, and let the focal verse settle into its own context.

32 (For after all these things do the Gentiles seek:) for your heavenly Father knoweth that ye have need of all these things.

33 But seek ye first the kingdom of God, and his righteousness; and all these things shall be added unto you.

34 Take therefore no thought for the morrow: for the morrow shall take thought for the things of itself. Sufficient unto the day is the evil thereof.
