Regardless of our monetary or material condition, it is the Lord that sustains His children. He gives good gifts to us all.

“Every good gift and every perfect gift is from above, and cometh down from the Father of lights, with whom is no variableness, neither shadow of turning.”
 
The Lord sustains His children through His blessings and gifts.
When we are in despair, He chooses to provide for us in miraculous ways. We need only to make the choice to allow Him to carry our burden for us.
