Genesis 45:5; Romans 8:28
What is meant by God's provisional care? It means that God in His divine wisdom has provided for all humanity's needs regardless of our situation. There are no problems, concerns or situations that we may encounter that God had not made provision; this includes sin. We know there are consequences to our decisions. If we choose to obey God and His commands blessings follow whereas being disobedient to His laws and commands punishment follows.

In 1 Peter 5:7 we are encouraged to cast all our cares upon Him. The love nature and sovereignty of God allows Him to make such request because He is able, willing and is true to His promise in providing for all our needs. Philippians 4:19 supports these scriptures in God providing for all mans needs.
If the question were raised, Why must believers suffer? Romans 8:28 encourages us that "all things work together for good," which is to say that when we as believers suffer in this life as we will God will bring good out of our suffering (trials, afflictions, persecutions) God is conforming us to the likeness of His Son Jesus Christ and the end results is glorification (v. 29) as all believers are the elect of God and in the corporate body of Christ-His church who is glorified.
It can be concluded that whatever we as believers may experience in this life God is present through His Spirit-the Holy Spirit.
