If God has done everything for me, I have done all of it.
"each soul is, in part, its own God -- its own Creator -- in a word, that God -- the material and spiritual God -- now exists solely in the diffused Matter and Sprit of the Universe; and that regathering of this diffused Matter and Spirit will be but the re-constitution of the purely Spiritual and Individual God."
~ E.A. Poe

Know, O' creatures of God! that your own self is a guard over you; limbs are watchmen and truthful vigil-keepers who preserve (the record of) your actions and the numbers of your breaths. The gloom of the dark night cannot conceal you from them, nor can closed doors hide you from them. Surely tomorrow is close to today.
Today will depart with all that it has and tomorrow will come in its wake. It is as though every one of you has reached that place on earth where he would be alone, namely the location of his grave. So, what to say of the lonely house, the solitary place of staying and the solitary exile. It is as though the cry (of the Horn) has reached you, the Hour has overtaken you and you have come out (of your graves) for the passing of judgement. (The curtains of) falsehood have been removed from you and your excuses have become weak. The truth about you has been proved. All your matters have proceeded to their consequences. Therefore. you should (now) take counsel from examples, learn lessons from vicissitudes and take advantage of the warners.

Hopefully made the right choices and allowed God's will to be done on earth.
May God Bless you.

God didnt judt give it to me on a silver platter, I had to bring my side of the deal too (if you can call it that). (For example, I cant just pray and sit back and expect to get an A grade on a test, I have to learn for the test to the best of my ability aswell. )

Just like farmers do not do everything for us food wise; they don't cook the food for us, but if it was not for their contributions, we would not have food.
Similarly, we may walk and live and it seems like were doing it all by ourselves, but if it was not for God's creation and constant care, we could do nothing.

I followed His religion, respected His prophets, tried to be good to people, specially my parents. And I'm working to make the world better, hopefully.
