If you believe in a supernatural power, then you look up to them to provide for you. A perfect example is the Christian God.
Christians believe that God is their provider. They believe that He is a merciful God who is ready and willing to provide for them if only they seek Him and have faith in Him.
God is the almighty, with the power to give anything that is asked of Him. So when Christians lack something in their lives, they seek God's providence in their lives.
Being a faithful God, He provides for His people what they seek and need. He even promises His people to provide for them, if they ask for what they need.
However, God doesn't simply bring down manna from Heaven. He will make the way for someone to get what they need, then they will have to go out and get it.
As much as He provides the food, He will not cook the dinner. If you ask for a miracle, He will make doors open up but cannot push you through. He has done His part of providing, now you have to do your part of getting what He provided.
The same thing goes for people who are not Christians too. If you need something, you can't just sit and wait for it to come to you. You have to get up and go for it.
Life is not an easy-go-lucky affair. No one is going to provide for you everything you need. Even your parents or partner cannot give you everything you want. Some things you just have to get for yourself.
Here are provide quotes that remind you to take your responsibilities more seriously. If there are people who depend on you, it is your duty to provide them as you provide for yourself too.
