It Determines What Happens

Your best efforts are good, but results are determined by "it."

For everything that happens around you, "it" determines what happens and what doesn't. It's true. So you have to be familiar with this "it." Some folks call it "fate," some call it "destiny." But it's definitely more than these things. Fate depends on how things and events develop which are beyond our control, but this "it" has no regard for that. It doesn't care how things are unfolding. It decides on its own.

Only "It" is Real

Destiny, on the other hand, is something definite in the future. Problem is, it's more about major life events and their deeper meanings, not the nitty-gritty of mundane, ordinary details of the now. You don't often call having your coffee spilled on your shirt "destiny," or when you misplace your toothbrush or keys. Destiny is more on marriage, success, status, death, and the like. 

But with things of lesser consequences (at least that's how most people see them), we relegate to either our own doings or luck or accident, all of which are unreal, existing only in our minds. We think our efforts (especially hard efforts) decide what happens or change circumstances. Then we list them under our so-called achievements and congratulate ourselves---or expect others to do so. We still don't get it.

Our Prayers Don't Change Anything

We also too often imagine that our prayers "change" things. They don't. But "it" does. Yup, everything depends on "it." It decides everything. In fact, most times our prayers seem only to "change" things when they coincide with what "it" wants. It wants everything conforming to its designs and purposes. Absolutely no exception. So a "prayerful" person will effect no change or result if he prays to the contrary. But if you conform to it, you don't need to be "prayerful" (as "prayerful" is understood today) because things just automatically fall into place if you live according to "it."

For both big and small things in life, it's solely responsible. Our best efforts and prayers don't mean a thing. This is why wrong things happen to us even if we don't ask for them in prayer. Who prayed for Covid-19 to happen? Nobody. But it happened anyway. Why? Because "it" allowed it. I suppose hundreds--even thousands--of prayers were said to stop Covid or protect the faithful from catching it. Still, Covid continued and many church ministers were infected. Some even died. Why? "It" allowed it. 

But Efforts and Prayers Have to Continue

And yet, our best efforts and prayers have to go on. Why? Because "it" says so. We cannot go against it. It prevails regardless. The Apostle Paul once said something to this effect:

"For we cannot do anything against the truth, but only for the truth."

We cannot do "anything." See that? We are that powerless. And yet this same powerlessness (or weakness) is the key to perfecting power. It has a lot to do with recognizing "its" authority over everything---the authority of God's Truth and Will in the bible---the "It." Get it? Unless we see this truth, we think we have some power to do things, and that deceives us big-time.
