For the Gentiles search for these things

"for the Gentiles are concerned about what they will eat, drink, and wear"

your heavenly Father knows that you need them

Jesus is implying that God will make sure their basic needs are met.

Father

This is an important title for God. (See: rc://en/ta/man/translate/guidelines-sonofgodprinciples)

seek first his kingdom and his righteousness

Here "kingdom" refers to God's rule as king. AT: "concern yourselves with serving God, who is your king, and doing what is right" (See: rc://en/ta/man/translate/figs-metonymy)

all these things will be given to you

This can be stated in active form. AT: "God will provide all these things for you" (See: rc://en/ta/man/translate/figs-activepassive)

Therefore

"Because of all this"

tomorrow will be anxious for itself

Jesus speaks of "tomorrow" as if it were a person who could worry. Jesus means that a person will have enough to worry about when the next day comes. (See: rc://en/ta/man/translate/figs-personification)
