And, of course, first God is concerned about what He desires for Himself > He desires to have many children who are like His Son Jesus > Romans 8:29. So, we need to be not so much only about what God has for us, but we need to be more about seeking to please Him, first.
And Jesus says, "seek first the kingdom of God and His righteousness, and all these things shall be added to you." (in Matthew 6:33) So, while we seek God for Himself and seek first to please Him, we are guaranteed how He will take care of all He knows we need.
And I keep finding how He shares plenty which is so enjoyable > God "gives us richly all things to enjoy." (in 1 Timothy 6:17) I can wonder, at times, who is the most busy with pleasing whom

Plus our service needs to not be with conditions about what we want God to do for us.
God says He will never leave us nor forsake us (Hebrews 13:5). And Jesus says He is with us until the end of the age (Matthew 28:19-20). So, we can be sure God will take care of us the right way . . . no matter how anything may look. What matters is simply if we are obeying Him; and this includes > obey how God takes care of us.
So . . . be with Jesus now
