Question: what does the bible say about doing things for yourself?
Answer: God cares about our well-being. He can “empathize with our weaknesses,” through Jesus Christ. Hebrews 4:14-16 talks about this. In fact, verse 16 (NIV) says that because of this, we can “approach God's throne of grace with confidence, so that we may receive mercy and find grace to help us in our time of need.”
