i believe in destiny a little bit so how can you be sure it will all work out or that something else won't intervene. what does the Bible/your religion say about it. if i understand this right, our thoughts are the most powerful tool but then there are also some people who don't mean well. so how do you know you/your plans are always protected. thanx

you can not be sure ever that your plans will work out as you thought. there is always a litle opportunity that things go different as expected

I believe that Fear is the opposite of Faith. One cannot exist in the presence of the other. You're right: our thoughts are the most powerful tool we have at our disposal. That is the secret of prayer, magic, meditation, and various forms of divination. All use the power of our thoughts to accomplish some task.
I keep my plans protected using all the various tools I have learned. I also have a very powerful Faith. Between God and myself, I think my bases are pretty well covered.
With Love,
Shane K.

I cannot be sure that it will all work out or that something else won't intervene. I can be sure of myself and how I will behave now and in the future. I do not believe in any bible or any religion.
I can be assured that my thoughts wil not be attacked with any success from others, since I rely on ciritical thinking to keep myself grounded in reality.

We are born into a strange system that does not resemble the system God originally designed for us. Once things fell apart in Eden, the agenda changed, and the world degenerated. Since God is loving and merciful, He has provided a Savior, who will restore all things at the appointed time.
In the meantime, we are living in a set of arrangements that often have little or nothing to do with the perfect arrangements of God. We strive to achieve whatever goals we set for ourselves, but these are not always convenient or compatible with the perfection planned by God.
We know that God will ultimately have the victory, that perfection will be restored for all of his children, but that does not mean that each of our personal goals at this time will be achieved.
I think that we are often unhappy or unfulfilled due to living in ways in which we were not meant to live. We are created beings, designed to function within certain limits to be perfect and content. We think we should be able to do whatever we want, and we can choose to do almost whatever we want to do; but we will only experience true joy and peace as long as we function within the limits of our design.

There is a saying immortalized in a country song "If you want to hear God laugh tell Him your plans" So your plans are only safe if they happen to match His. Maybe checking with Him in the planning stage would be a good start.

They hang around with like minded people doing like minded things in like minded places. That is how they feel protected.

i think free will decides it all...if you truly want something you can make yourself get there, or "all work out" thats why so many bad things happen to helpless believers every day...the killer has free will too

you have no plans, those are just influences of the grand machina... you cannot surrender to it since you already had....
we do not know what the grand machina will lead us to...
to realize this or not is part of the direction of the grand machina...
DESPAIR!
