Context
(b4 & after verses)
…32For the pagans strive after all these things, and your Heavenly Father knows that you need them.
33But seek first the kingdom of God and His righteousness, and all these things will be added unto you.
34Therefore do not worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will worry about itself. Today has enough trouble of its own.…

which begs the question; "What things"?
(backing it up to prior verses)
…v29 Yet I tell you that not even Solomon in all his glory was adorned like one of these.
30 If that is how God clothes the grass of the field,(IE; flowers/etc.) which is here today and tomorrow is thrown into the furnace,
will He not much more clothe you, O you of little faith?
31 Therefore do not worry, saying, ‘What shall we eat?’ or ‘What shall we drink?’ or ‘What shall we wear?’…

Matthew Henry Commentary
6:25-34 There is scarcely any sin against which our Lord Jesus more warns his disciples,
than disquieting, distracting, distrustful cares about the things of this life.
This often ensnares the poor as much as the love of wealth does the rich.
But there is a carefulness about temporal things which is a duty,
though we must not carry these lawful cares too far.
Take no thought for your life. Not about the length of it;
but refer it to God to lengthen or shorten it as he pleases;
our times are in his hand, and they are in a good hand.
Not about the comforts of this life; but leave it to God to make it bitter or sweet as he pleases.
Food and raiment God has promised, therefore we may expect them.
Take no thought for the morrow, for the time to come.
Be not anxious for the future, how you shall live next year, or when you are old, or what you shall leave behind you.
As we must not boast of tomorrow, so we must not care for to-morrow, or the events of it.
God has given us life, and has given us the body.
And what can he not do for us, who did that?
If we take care about our souls and for eternity, which are more than the body and its life,
we may leave it to God to provide for us food and raiment, which are less.
Improve this as an encouragement to trust in God.
We must reconcile ourselves to our worldly estate, as we do to our stature.
We cannot alter the disposals of Providence,
therefore we must submit and resign ourselves to them.
Thoughtfulness for our souls is the best cure of thoughtfulness for the world.
Seek first the kingdom of God, and make religion your business: say not that this is the way to starve; no,
it is the way to be well provided for, even in this world.
The conclusion of the whole matter is,
that it is the will and command of the Lord Jesus,
that by daily prayers we may get strength to bear us up under our daily troubles,
and to arm us against the temptations that attend them,
and then let none of these things move us.
Happy are those who take the Lord for their God,
and make full proof of it by trusting themselves wholly to his wise disposal.
Let thy Spirit convince us of sin in the want of this disposition,
and take away the worldliness of our hearts."
