      For this reason I say to you, do not worry about..."

      Those 11 verses about worry are immediately followed by verse 33 "Sell your possessions and give to charity;...". My translation (NASB) has the 11 worry verses set off in their own paragraph, but what if verse 33 is part of it: an application of the teaching against worry. That is: don't let the aforementioned worry/fear get in the way of your giving to charity. You don't have to be afraid to give "for your Father has chosen gladly to give you the kingdom."

            God's riches are in righteous acts and not worldly wealth.
            Some may call me foolish, and some may call me odd
            But I'd rather be a fool in the eyes of man
            Than a fool in the eyes of God

            From "Fools Gold" by Petra

              Building on what MM said, I would think Matt 6:19-20 is what Jesus was referring to:
