"Wherefore, if God so clothe the grass of the field, which today is, and tomorrow is cast into the oven, even so will he clothe you, if ye are not of little faith."
3 Nephi 13:30
I think this is God's way of telling us that things are going to be okay. Temporary problems are going to pop up, but if we trust God, and seek the kingdom of God first (verse 33), then everything else will come. It's similar to having a positive attitude, but completely rooted in the Lord, which is a much more secure foundation than optimism alone. :)
Remember when Christ told Peter how to find some money to give as tribute (Matthew 17:24-27)?, or when Christ explained how to collect the colt (Luke 19:30-35)? Those are examples of how God provides, and the serendipity that faith can bring us. Although these are probably more advanced examples, with the whole predicting it ahead of time, it is the same type of thing that already happens in our lives from time to time, as God blesses us with those things that we need and want, seemingly out of the blue, but actually special delivery from heaven. :)
Today, let's not stop working towards our goals, but let's remember to also talk them out with the Lord. God wants to help us; let's trust him to do so. As we do, we take a step towards faith and clear the way so that God can work more closely with us, teaching us more and more faith. We won't get to the walk-on-water level for quite a while, probably, but someday we might be ready to try even that. :)
