As we go through these uncertain economic times, we will find our faith tested. God hates laziness; God helps those who help themselves in a godly way. If we diligently do our part and trust in His providence, God will provide all our needs. The promises of III John 2 work if our soul prospers accordingly. God keeps His covenant and mercy, showing compassion and grace. Not a single one of us is as bad off as the destitute widow; we can expect that our Father will supply all of our needs. You can take that to the bank.
