The reason the blessing of security is mentioned before the blessing of provision

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
May Allah reward you. In Surat al-Baqarah, Allah (Glorified and Exalted is He) placed the blessing of security before the blessing of provision, and likewise in Surat Ibrahim. Is there any guidance regarding this?

Answer:
Yes, because one does not take pleasure in provision while in fear. One does not take pleasure in provision with fear; rather, one takes pleasure in it with security. Therefore, security was placed before provision.
My Lord, make this a secure city and provide its people with fruitsرَبِّ اجْعَلْ هَٰذَا بَلَدًا آمِنًا وَارْزُقْ أَهْلَهُ مِنَ الثَّمَرَاتِ
[Al-Baqarah 2:126]
He first supplicated for security, then for provision; because one does not take pleasure in provision except with security. Yes.
