Luke 12:29

Do not seek (do not be fixated on) what you will eat and drink, and do not worry.
[This is the only time the Greek word meteorizomai is used for worry in the New Testament. It can describe how a ship is tossed by the waves of the sea, and the image then becomes one of worry, where one is tossed between hope and fear. Another meaning is something high in the air. The word "meteor" comes from this word. The meaning then becomes not to place disproportionately high expectations on earthly things such as security, which only leads to worry and disappointment.]
