Do you believe that God has a plan for you? If things don't work out do you rationalize them with God has?

Question

a better plan for you?

Answer 1

Definitely. There are times that I have said, "God, where are you?". but, He has always been there for me and His answers were so right. Looking back, I see what He was doing, even when I didn't understand at the time.

I have actually gotten where I look forward to seeing and understanding what His plan is for me. I have given Him the control.

Answer 2

Yes, I believe God has a plan for me. I believe He has a plan for all of us. If things don't work out the way I want them to, I do get mad and sometimes angry at God. But I remind myself that He's in control and whatever bad happens, he'll take and turn it into good.

Answer 3

I am Buddhist.
I am not a theist.
In simple terms Buddhism is a practice, a philosophy to adopt which deals with cleaning or clearing one's slate for the betterment of others, the world in which we live.
We have our practices; such as meditation, visualization, contemplation, but the positive results of these are offered toward the sake of others before we'd think of gain for ourselves.
Some people may think a true Buddhist practices in order to reach enlightenment.
That, indeed may be within the process of our individual paths which we discover and follow intuitively, however, All others in the world, are considered before ourselves.
Therefore, No, I do not depend on God to help me with a plan. Such a plan is dependent upon my behaviour and practice.

Answer 4

God does have a plan. It is we who move from plan A, on to plan B and so on. God doesn't think that way because He's God, whose plan is perfect. He knows the mistakes we will make, and I believe made provision for that to benefit His Ultimate Plan at the point of our Total Surrender. In Proverbs it says, it is better to learn from instruction, than to learn from mistakes. Most of us though learn from mistakes for long enough, till we will do nothing else other than learn from His Instruction. Then He can trust us with His perfect Plan.

Answer 5

There is no god to have a plan for me. I think that if things don't work out, it's because I or someone else made some bad decisions.

Answer 6

Yes. I believe that God has a plan for all of us.

God gave us a mind to think. He also allowed us to choose, to act and also room to make mistakes.

So when things go wrong, it's His way of patting us on the shoulder and telling us that we did not make the right decision.

We should listen carefully to His word so that our ship will be smooth sailing.

God bless.

Answer 7

Reality - what you personify as God - is neutral. However, that does not mean that you do not have a purpose for being here or that there is no 'divine' reality for which we should strive. If each person transcends their conditioned ego identity and remembers what they authentically love and are passionate about, reality will respond and provide the opportunities for becoming all that you are capable of becoming.

Answer 8

I don't think God is in control nor does he want to be. I don't think God has a plan for you. I believe he gives you free thought and free will so you make your own plans.I do believe you can ask God for advise.And if you listen closely he will direct you.but You have to listen.

Answer 9

I think we live in a random and unpredictable universe full of unanswerable questions. This produces anxiety. We reduce that anxiety with the idea that "further along we'll understand it," and that despite all appearances to the contrary, things are unfolding in accordance with some vast, mysterious master plan.

Answer 10

I believe that the FSM has a plan for me, and so far it's worked out great! If your plans don't work, maybe you should switch Deities to the Spagetdiety! Yarr!
