Let your way of life be without loving money, being satisfied with what you have. For He Himself has said, “By no means shall I desert you, nor in any way shall I forsake you;” so that being confident, we may say: “The Lord is my helper; I will not fear. What can man do to me?” (Hebrews 13:5-6, EMTV)
How God helps us

B2 Gives us guidance to know our way.
C1 Your word is a lamp to my feet and a light to my path. Psalms 119:105, NKJV
C2 There are many decisions to make. We need to use our mind, reason, and logic, but there still is the unknown. Things happen and best decisions might not turn out as we expect. The Bible gives many rules, principles, and examples of good and bad decisions.
