Angel, we live in a messed up world that God did not create. It's not God who 'letting' this happen, it's the sin and the blind selfishness of mankind.
There is more than enough food and resources in this entire world to feed just that... the entire world. God made this total provision long before the foundations of the earth. When God created this 'home' of ours, He set into place everthing that we would ever need to thrive and to survive.
So who's really the blame and the culprits? Man is. And we cannot blame God.
What we have to do, it make the system own up and give up what they are stealing and hoarding for themselves.
God still provides, He is still our source and He DOES provide for His children. I can guarantee you that any 'Chrisitan' (per say) who has gone to God for help, has never been turned down. Never.
We need to ask what is the real issue behind the 'hunger', lack need and wants of these precious souls. It's always something, and it will always lead to man not God And it's up to 'us' to do something about it.
So many of us are so afraid of losing what we have, (yes, Christians) that we are not extending ourselves to truly help another Christian in dire straits. We give limited proportions out of fear of bringing lack upon ourselves.
Some Christians are ashamed and fearful of letting it be known that they need help and I don't berate them for this, for it's not easy to confess hard times, especially if it's a man.
Yet, if we do not let our requests be made known....
Nicola, it's a messed up world, Sweetheart. It truly is. I grieve over what I've seen and it doesn't have to be this way; It's not God who isn't providing, though. It's man withholding God's provision to help others.
Even in the empoverished countries (Africa, Asia, India, etc.,) it's a crooked and dishonourable 'system' controlled by 'man' that is the root cause, it's not God who is holding out. It's a mafia, stealing more and more and hindering the poor from true life.
We have to consider where our dollars go when we purchase that tube of toothpaste, or products for our hair. Who is on the other end of those dollars that we are enablng to bring more and more dispair? We're helping this crooked system to thrive in more ways then we know.
Who do we help when we go to Walmart? Target? Gas Stations? All of these places are examples of a world's system, that we 'feed' and nurture with our resources, in order to obtain our daily living needs, and yet, these same needs are being stolen from another family's resources.
It's a vicious cycle and again, God is not the blame.
Joseph and Noah were two of the perfect examples of God's provision being preserved. They were both forwarned of the upcoming peril and instructed on how to prepare for it.
God always provides.

Pink Pebbles, this a perfect example! No one in this country should be neither hungry, homeless, or with a headache without an aspirin. It makes no sense whatsoever, that anyone in this country is without medical care. 
I've known people to say that the U.S. is rich because it's "christian." Those people haven't really looked deep enough.
