We bring nothing; He provides everything. I notice the repetition here is deliberate - the author wants us to feel the emphasis, to let the truth sink deep into our hearts.

My grandmother used to quote this verse every morning.

I love how this passage doesn't shy away from the difficulty of obedience. God is faithful in every circumstance. God is faithful in every circumstance.
God is faithful in every circumstance. God is faithful in every circumstance. Reading the Psalms alongside this gives a fuller picture of what the author was experiencing - both the anguish and the hope. God is faithful in every circumstance.
God is faithful in every circumstance. Faith isn't the absence of doubt - it's choosing to believe despite it. God is faithful in every circumstance.
