How do we know that God provides for us in times of need?

Throughout Scripture, God’s provision is evidenced in numerous accounts, one being His care for Elijah in the wilderness. After Elijah fled from Jezebel, despite his despair, God sent an angel to provide food and water, sustaining him for a journey of forty days and nights. This story illustrates that during times of crisis and despair, God is aware of our needs and provides for us, even when we feel overwhelmed. It reassures believers that God will look after them in both body and soul.
