God made us know in His Word that above all things He wishes that we prosper, we see this in the book of 3 John 1:2. God is actually interested in our success as long as it is achieved legitimately. If we invite God into our affairs He would make Himself present. But it all depends on the matter for which we are inviting God to.
On the same note, it could be that our intentions may be right but it may not be the right time. Anything gotten at a time that is way too early may end up destroying us. God knows what is best for us and He is also in the perfect disposition to know when the time is right for it to be handed to us. We live in a time where people are hasty achieving one thing or the other.
There's no parent that doesn't want to best for their child. Because other people who may be our age have achieved it or even people who are younger does not mean our time is late. God has the respective times He deals with us. God's dealing with man is with according to age unlike it is with the world system. Each of us have our designated time for each level in life that God has prepared for us.
One of the ways we can tell that just could be that it's not yet time for something we are aspiring for is when it seems like all our efforts are not yielding the expected results. When it's the right time for something to take effect in our life one of the signs that proves this is that we experience ease. It doesn't have to necessarily come with struggle.
