I’ve seen many people whom I would consider in dire straights (or soon to be there if a crisis wasn’t averted) repeatedly state, “God will provide.”
I feel this statement is just used as a smokescreen to deflect the listener’s attention off the things the (troubled person) can easily do for themselves to have more control over their futures.
Invariably, the predictable ends up happening to them while they do nothing waiting for “God to provide.” It never occurs to them that God might “give a leg up” to those who help themselves first :=}
