The bad lifestyle my father suffers from is the result of displacing God from the center of his life, not trusting in Him as the ultimate Giver of life and everything we need. He doesn't give 100% of himself to God. But we can't serve two lords at once. Either God or money. He holds that a man should strive for success, independence, money. That a man himself should be reaching his welfare.

If Matthew 6:31 is true, why do millions of people have nothing to eat, drink, or wear? (gotquestions)
KEY POINTS:
Jesus is NOT teaching the miraculous eradication of worldwide hunger and poverty. In fact, Jesus later said that “you will always have the poor among you”. In the Sermon on the Mount, Jesus is specifically addressing His disciples, not the general public (Matthew 5:1–2); that is, He is speaking to those who were committed to Him and had made His teaching the basis of their lives. Those who follow Christ are not to be anxious about food and clothing.

What Jesus is IN FACT teaching in Matthew 6:31–32 is that God’s children have no reason to worry. God knows the need, and God is good. He will not allow true needs to remain unfilled but will, in His providence and in His time, see to His children’s welfare.

Also, Jesus is teaching His disciples to prioritize their lives. They are to place matters of eternity before their own earthly needs: “But seek first his kingdom and his righteousness, and all these things will be given to you as well” (Matthew 6:33).

How we define necessity is often influenced by purely subjective considerations. Jesus mentions food and clothing—anything beyond that starts moving away from true essentials (see also 1 Timothy 6:8). It’s important to allow God to determine our “necessities”; He will deem what is best for us.

There are many cases of destitution and privation in the world. None of them, however, are the result of God’s failure to keep a promise. On an individual level, some lack food and clothing as a result of gambling, drunkenness, slothfulness, covetousness, etc. On a national level, even greater numbers of people suffer privation because of inept governments, corrupt leaders, or unjust wars. God is not responsible for such evils (see 1 John 1:5).



In a nutshell, in The Sermon on the Mount Jesus is addressing only His followers (few follow him, so it's their fault that they are hopeless who don't) and promises NOT a constant food, drink and cloth supply, but instead promises that they can trust God and He will fulfill their TRULY essential needs, not the needs WE THINK are essential to ourselves.
