How to live only by praying to god ? (lemmings.world)

How to live for 300 years without depending on anyone but only praying to god ? Isn't god said:

“Therefore I tell you, do not worry about your life, what you will eat or drink; or about your body, what you will wear. Is not life more than food, and the body more than clothes? 26 Look at the birds of the air; they do not sow or reap or store away in barns, and yet your heavenly Father feeds them. Are you not much more valuable than they? 27 Can any one of you by worrying add a single hour to your life[a]?

28 “And why do you worry about clothes? See how the flowers of the field grow. They do not labor or spin. 29 Yet I tell you that not even Solomon in all his splendor was dressed like one of these. 30 If that is how God clothes the grass of the field, which is here today and tomorrow is thrown into the fire, will he not much more clothe you—you of little faith? 31 So do not worry, saying, ‘What shall we eat?’ or ‘What shall we drink?’ or ‘What shall we wear?’ 32 For the pagans run after all these things, and your heavenly Father knows that you need them. 33 But seek first his kingdom and his righteousness, and all these things will be given to you as well. 34 Therefore do not worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will worry about itself. Each day has enough trouble of its own.

Still waiting for the question.

Consider cleaning up your own religion before proselytizing others.

Here let me give you some helpful tips:

  • Your churches should be converted into free housing for all. No you don't get to use their desperation as a excuse to smash them over the head with your holy book.

  • The money tithed to the church should be offered as interest free financing of worker owned and operated cooperatives

  • crucify mega church/prosperity gospel leadership. In the literal sense.

  • keep your religion out of politics. Challenge level: impossible

There ya go. That should keep yall busy for the next 1000 years.
