The state of mind wherein one is concerned about something or someone. This state of mind may range from genuine concern (see Philippians 2:20 ,Philippians 2:20,2:28; 2 Corinthians 11:28 ) to obsessions that originate from a distorted perspective of life (Matthew 6:25-34; Mark 4:19; Luke 12:22-31 ). Jesus did not prohibit genuine concern about food or shelter, but He did teach that we should keep things in their proper perspective. We should make God's kingdom our first priority; everything else will fall in line after we do that (Matthew 6:33 ).
