“And my God will liberally supply (fill to the full) your every need according to His riches in glory…” from Philippians 4:19 in the Holy Bible, Amplified Version.
I have experienced this promise of God many times since choosing to follow Him.

I whispered a prayer to God asking for something to wear. The next day, on my doorstep was a paper grocery bag filled with clothes that fit perfectly!
