Psalm 139:7"If I ascend to the heavens, You are there; if I make my bed in Sheol, You are there."
Psalm 139:8"Do not fear, for I have redeemed you; I have called you by name, you are Mine."
Isaiah 43:1"And surely I am with you always, to the very end of the age."
Matthew 28:20"Keep your lives free from the love of money and be content with what you have, for God Himself has said, 'Never will I leave you, never will I forsake you.'"
