Hebrews 4:14-16 โ "Therefore, since we have a great high priest who has ascended into heaven, Jesus the Son of God, let us hold firmly to the faith we profess.

Let us then approach Godโs throne of grace with confidence, so that we may receive mercy and find grace to help us in our time of need."

Matthew 6:25-27 โ "Therefore I tell you, do not worry about your life, what you will eat or drink; or about your body, what you will wear. Is not life more than food, and the body more than clothes?
