[D]o not show favoritism to a poor person in a lawsuit. – Exodus 23:3
Justice is not based on a person’s possessions. God neither favors the rich’s wealth nor the poor’s poverty and he resists discrimination where ever it is found.

He only is my rock and my salvation: he is my defence; I shall not be moved. In God is my salvation and my glory: the rock of my strength, and my refuge, is in God. Trust in him at all times; ye people, pour out your heart before him: God is a refuge for us. – Psalm 62:6-8
God doesn’t give salvation, strength, refuge, or anything else, as if those were things he provides, he is those things in the lives of those who have him.
This is a concept we must grasp — He is what we need. Instead of asking him to give patience, grace, healing, protection, strength, or any thing else — ask him to be your patience, grace, healing, protection, etc.
His gift is himself and he is enough.

[B]e ready always to give an answer to every man that asketh you a reason of the hope that is in you…” – 1st Peter 3:15b
The admonition to be ready to give an answer for our hope presumes there is hope in there to give an answer for.
Normal Christian living is filled with Hope. If hope is not there it’s time to find the kink in the hose and get it fixed.
