"[As for me] I am poor and needy, yet the Lord takes thought {and} plans for me."

2 Corinthians 8:9 For you are becoming progressively acquainted with {and} recognizing more strongly {and} clearly the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ (His kindness, His gracious generosity, His undeserved favor and spiritual blessing), [in] that though He was [so very] rich, yet for your sakes He became [so very] poor, in order that by His poverty you might become enriched (abundantly supplied).

James 2:5 Listen, my beloved brethren: Has not God chosen those who are poor in the eyes of the world to be rich in faith {and} in their position as believers and to inherit the kingdom which He has promised to those who love Him?

Being poor in the eyes of this world means someone's lack the luxuries, you don't own many things, you don't own a car, you don't own a large house, what you have are bare essentials that keeps you going just to survive. But being rich in GOD's eyes, that even if you don't own these conveniences in life, or luxuries you can still praise and worship the LORD GOD and thank Him everyday for all your needs are met by His Grace.

When people are poor of these world's materials that are not needed in Heaven, they pray to GOD more frequently because they see GOD as providing for them, that's why their faith is always exercised, thus making it strong.
