Everything Happens For a Reason

God is the best planner. He planned everything to be perfect when he made his greatest creation: Mankind. But we all know that because we are given free will, it did not end up perfect here on earth. But God has ways of sticking to his plan. His grand plan. When one event takes place, one of two things happen; God planned it, or man committed it and God simply knew about it. But either way, he gives us ways out if we end up stuck in a situation. All we need to do is carefully look for the "ropes" he throws us. But we can't just wait to be saved from drowning without shouting "Help!". We pray. This is how we shout for help. Praying is asking, or thanking God for something. Sometimes prayer is even just talking and listening to God! You see, prayer tells God that we believe He can throw us that rope to save us from drowning in sin and suffering. Jesus gave us prayers to pray. Now we use them tell him we need, appreciate and love Him. God helps those who help themselves. But what most do not understand from this is that YOU must decide for yourself whether you have faith in Him or not. He gave us free will, meaning He will not make you believe in Him. You must do it yourself. And once you believe and then ask, God will always throw you YOUR rope.
