He will not leave you nor forsake you." Deuteronomy 31:6 NKJV "Be strong and of good courage, do not fear nor be afraid of them for the Lord your God, He is the One who goes with you. Sufficient for the day is its own trouble." Matthew 6:31-34 NKJV Therefore do not worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will worry about its own things. But seek first the kingdom of God and His righteousness, and all these things shall be added to you. For your heavenly Father knows that you need all these things.

"Therefore do not worry, saying, 'What shall we eat?' or 'What shall we drink?' or 'What shall we wear?' For after all these things the Gentiles seek.
