When we pray to God for answers, sometimes we have to wait and other times we do not get the answer we wanted. If we ask Him to help us ace a test, but we do not study, then it is our fault and not His. When we look at life with God's perspective, we are no longer focused on our wants, needs, or mistakes. We become happier and cheerier. Our actions should reflect our relationship with God. If we have positive actions and attitudes, our circumstances will be positive. If we stay organized and have a strong relationship with God, we will be less stressed and not doubt or question Him. Without God, we are pulled into fear, doubt, and worry.
