If God Is In Control of Everything, Why Don't I Live by a Bank/Grocery/Deli?

I almost did a few years ago, except the 'grocery' was more "gourmet" (a little out of my price-range). But now the grocery's out-of-business (really, no one was buying enough there to keep it afloat) and the deli's gone too (replaced by a nightclub). But now the closest thing I've got is a BUY FOR LE$$ grocery that is further away than the bank and sells (like) one kind of sandwich ... but none of that's the point. The point is ... G*d. I've mentioned it before--that G*d doesn't really care what's good for us if it's not good for Him. Oh, people phrase their prayers like that---saying 'if You'll gimme-gimme-gimme Your gifts, I'll use them more-&-more to Your glory.' But that's not how it works. It actually turns out that 'to His glory' is just a more-profitable way to use His gifts. So as you use what you have 'to His glory,' more-&-more gifts will be provided in the profits therefrom. But G*d Himself? He's not doing anything but 'allowing' you to continue---so sure He is that He could stop you if He wanted, He doesn't need to prove it (as just your fear of His wrath should be enough proof to keep you obedient ) But I think my point is that it DOESN'T MATTER what G*d wants if no one is willing to DO WHAT MUST BE DONE. I could preach-&-preach-&-preach that G*d wants a Bank/Grocery/Food-Court right next-door to my apartment, but if NO ONE BUILDS IT, then IT WON'T GET BUILT. G*D DOES NOTHING! Prove me wrong!
