Drive Me

Today I was asked the question "Where is your life going?"
It got me thinking about the question, does any person "know" where there life is going?
Do we plan out our lives? Or do we just play the by standard in this roller coaster life?
Can we actually "plan" out our life? or do we just try and make it go the way we want it?
Does God play a factor in planning our life?
If he does, can we alter his plan?
If we control our own life and plan it ourselves, then why doesn't it go the way we planned?
Are we actually "controlling" anything?
And if we do control our life does that mean we have some sort of power?
When do we begin to take "control" of our lives?
Does the controlling of our lives differ in our age? Or are we always somehow in control?
What kind of control do we have?
What part of our life do we control? Or do we control all of it?
Does God ever get any credit?
Why is it that when life goes "wrong" to our plan, we blame God?
But when life is good, who needs God?
Selfishly do we expect God to just make everything "okay" when things go wrong?
Can anyone rely on God all of the time? No matter what sort of ride we are on. 
Do we ever do anything for others purely just out of goodness? Or is it always deep selfishness.
Do we do things thinking we will receive something? 
Can we as people handle the fact that we can't do anything on our own?
Can we deal with the fact that we are weak?
Could you deal with someone you have never met running your life?

Belief

In this day and age does God matter?
If everyone believed in the same god would that change anything?
Would we be able to stop the war if God was the center of our beliefs?
Are humans capable of changing dramatically just by changing beliefs?
Can a human change in general?
Where do we draw the line on why we are fighting the war?
If everyone in the whole entire world decided to believe in Jesus Christ and His teachings would that result in peace?
As human beings just believing in the same god doesn't change the fact that we are selfish.
So why do we believe in God in the first place?
If believing in God didn't bring peace to all nations then what would?
Can we change our human nature?
Are we all born evil and some choose to be good?
What is good and evil?
How does a non religious person define good and evil?
If there was no law from the bible then how would you define good and evil?
Is good and evil a state of mind or an action?
If everyone wants world peace then how come we still lie, cheat, and steal?
How come everyone thinks everyone else should change and not themselves?
Would a simple agree in belief change the world?
What do you believe?
