Could it be this is the best they will ever have? Consider Psalm 37.
Psalm 37
Security of Those Who Trust in the LORD, and Insecurity of the Wicked. <header>A Psalm of David.</header>
<sup id="en-NASB-14452">1</sup>Do not fret because of evildoers,
Be not envious toward wrongdoers.
<sup id="en-NASB-14453">2</sup>For they will wither quickly like the grass
And fade like the green herb.
<sup id="en-NASB-14454">3</sup>Trust in the LORD and do good;
Dwell in the land and cultivate faithfulness.
<sup id="en-NASB-14455">4</sup>Delight yourself in the LORD;
And He will give you the desires of your heart.
<sup id="en-NASB-14456">5</sup>Commit your way to the LORD,
Trust also in Him, and He will do it.
<sup id="en-NASB-14457">6</sup>He will bring forth your righteousness as the light
And your judgment as the noonday.
<sup id="en-NASB-14458">7</sup>Rest in the LORD and wait patiently for Him;
Do not fret because of him who prospers in his way,
Because of the man who carries out wicked schemes.
<sup id="en-NASB-14459">8</sup>Cease from anger and forsake wrath;
Do not fret; it leads only to evildoing.
<sup id="en-NASB-14460">9</sup>For evildoers will be cut off,
But those who wait for the LORD, they will inherit the land.
<sup id="en-NASB-14461">10</sup>Yet a little while and the wicked man will be no more;
And you will look carefully for his place and he will not be there.
<sup id="en-NASB-14462">11</sup>But the humble will inherit the land
And will delight themselves in abundant prosperity.
<sup id="en-NASB-14463">12</sup>The wicked plots against the righteous
And gnashes at him with his teeth.
<sup id="en-NASB-14464">13</sup>The Lord laughs at him,
For He sees his day is coming.
<sup id="en-NASB-14465">14</sup>The wicked have drawn the sword and bent their bow
To cast down the afflicted and the needy,
To slay those who are upright in conduct.
<sup id="en-NASB-14466">15</sup>Their sword will enter their own heart,
And their bows will be broken.
<sup id="en-NASB-14467">16</sup>Better is the little of the righteous
Than the abundance of many wicked.
<sup id="en-NASB-14468">17</sup>For the arms of the wicked will be broken,
But the LORD sustains the righteous.
<sup id="en-NASB-14469">18</sup>The LORD knows the days of the blameless,
And their inheritance will be forever.
<sup id="en-NASB-14470">19</sup>They will not be ashamed in the time of evil,
And in the days of famine they will have abundance.
<sup id="en-NASB-14471">20</sup>But the wicked will perish;
And the enemies of the LORD will be like the glory of the pastures,
They vanish--like smoke they vanish away.
<sup id="en-NASB-14472">21</sup>The wicked borrows and does not pay back,
But the righteous is gracious and gives.
<sup id="en-NASB-14473">22</sup>For those blessed by Him will inherit the land,
But those cursed by Him will be cut off.
<sup id="en-NASB-14474">23</sup>The steps of a man are established by the LORD,
And He delights in his way.
<sup id="en-NASB-14475">24</sup>When he falls, he will not be hurled headlong,
Because the LORD is the One who holds his hand.
<sup id="en-NASB-14476">25</sup>I have been young and now I am old,
Yet I have not seen the righteous forsaken
Or his descendants begging bread.
<sup id="en-NASB-14477">26</sup>All day long he is gracious and lends,
And his descendants are a blessing.
<sup id="en-NASB-14478">27</sup>Depart from evil and do good,
So you will abide forever.
<sup id="en-NASB-14479">28</sup>For the LORD loves justice
And does not forsake His godly ones;
They are preserved forever,
But the descendants of the wicked will be cut off.
<sup id="en-NASB-14480">29</sup>The righteous will inherit the land
And dwell in it forever.
<sup id="en-NASB-14481">30</sup>The mouth of the righteous utters wisdom,
And his tongue speaks justice.
<sup id="en-NASB-14482">31</sup>The law of his God is in his heart;
His steps do not slip.
<sup id="en-NASB-14483">32</sup>The wicked spies upon the righteous
And seeks to kill him.
<sup id="en-NASB-14484">33</sup>The LORD will not leave him in his hand
Or let him be condemned when he is judged.
<sup id="en-NASB-14485">34</sup>Wait for the LORD and keep His way,
And He will exalt you to inherit the land;
When the wicked are cut off, you will see it.
<sup id="en-NASB-14486">35</sup>I have seen a wicked, violent man
Spreading himself like a luxuriant tree in its native soil.
<sup id="en-NASB-14487">36</sup>Then he passed away, and lo, he was no more;
I sought for him, but he could not be found.
<sup id="en-NASB-14488">37</sup>Mark the blameless man, and behold the upright;
For the man of peace will have a posterity.
<sup id="en-NASB-14489">38</sup>But transgressors will be altogether destroyed;
The posterity of the wicked will be cut off.
<sup id="en-NASB-14490">39</sup>But the salvation of the righteous is from the LORD;
He is their strength in time of trouble.
<sup id="en-NASB-14491">40</sup>The LORD helps them and delivers them;
He delivers them from the wicked and saves them,
Because they take refuge in Him.
