So don’t be afraid; you are worth more than many sparrows” Matthew 10 v 29-31 “And we know that in all things God works for the good of those who love him, who have been called according to his purpose” Romans 8v28

Providence “For it is by grace you have been saved, through faith— and this is not from yourselves, it is the gift of God— not by works, so that no one can boast.  For we are God’s workmanship, created in Christ Jesus to do good works, which God prepared in advance for us to do.” Ephesians 2 v 8-10
