YOUR LIFE ISN'T IN GOD'S HANDS ANYMORE, IT'S IN YOUR ECONOMY

[Doll2233]

I agree with the point that financial decisions and efforts are a greater source of shaping our life but it is just an exaggeration to say that our life is not longer in Gods hand and it is only now dependent on economy. There are also many people around us who try to manage their money wisely. They develop skills, they work really hard, still they face illness, sometimes they have to go through unemployment, economic crisis or some other circumstances, that are not in their control. Not everyone around us has the same amount of opportunities and resources. So that they can improve their financial status. Hard work is not a guarantee of success anymore. Similarly, poverty is not a mirror showing that a person has made a bad decision. We as human beings should be capable of taking responsibility for our choices and also try to recognise the circumstances, opportunities and luck. The more and the best approach is to work hard towards the goals trust in God plans and manage our resources rather than just believing that money is going to determine our future.

God is a matter of faith, and when it comes to survival or prosperity, it depends on each of us it depends on how hard we strive to achieve the most comfortable, or at least secure, situation, especially financially. So when you believe in God, it doesn’t mean you just cling to that faith without making any effort that’s ridiculous.

[EluguHcman]

For so many years, people think God has been holding the control pad the whole time, deciding if you win, or lose.

This topic says: GOD HANDED THE CONTROL TO YOU. Now your life depends on your economy.
 What is an economy?

Lol,,,
I really don't know where the economy system is attached to religious.
I only know that the economic market is a structure that is being implemented and regulated by the governments.
God or religion has nothing to do with it. Maybe the related I hears about is the grace of God where you are extraordinarily and spirituality interceded for over blessings.
God does not just bless the economy rather, he gifts us with the wisdom and knowledge to set up our worlds the way we want it to be.

Economy growth and its downfall has always been rested on the shoulder of the people in the society's especially the leaders who are the decision makers in the ecosystem.
I hope anyone believing in God should not also expect magical wonders that should just boom an economy that is not resourceful and productive as that.

It is good to have faith but putting energies to work is very relevant to make a successful economy.

[DiMarxist]

No matter how difficult you think the economy is you still need to find a way for you to be do something profitable that you can earn from. if you say that a person's life depends on the economy then that's not entirely true because you can come from a country that has a bad economy and still make progress, this is all based on determination, following a plan, this is going to even help you strategize more.

Your life isn't running on autopilot anymore; it runs on your efforts, strength, strategy, smartness, choice and your financial habits.

Many people misplace religion as a savior without significant effort that brings that result and that's a big mistake. You would not rely on God for provision without putting in consistent effort, because faith without work is dead, even the Bible says that. Not to sound too religious but a lot of  Christians are guilty of this belief.

Consistency and hardwork is what produces luck, something most lazy people would say. An idle man would aways remain a stagnant man, grace will always find a man in motion, no matter how much faith or belief the latter has in God.

Right. Unfortunately, all this faith arises from ignorance. To believe that you don't have to worry about anything because God has already created everything for you is the philosophy of those who are either stupid or lazy. There is a good proverb that says that you can rely on God as much as you want, but if you sit on your ass without moving, neither God nor anyone else will help you. Therefore, OP, stop comparing religion and the life in which society lives. Maybe in your tribe people look at the sky, waiting for rain, but in the world people know how to look at forecasts.

It is important to understand the difference between religious belief and fulfilling one's responsibilities in real life. Having faith in God and fulfilling one's responsibilities are not contradictory. One can work hard even with faith in God. One can plan and take necessary steps to build one's future. If one just prays for a good harvest without cultivating, there is no guarantee of getting a good harvest. If one takes care of the land along with praying and prepares for possible risks. In real life the second farmer is more likely to get good results. Faith can give personal strength or peace of mind. It cannot be a substitute for taking necessary steps to solve real problems. The idea that every person who believes in religion is lazy is not correct. If one is to criticize, one should not blame religion as a whole but question that specific way of thinking. Where people are asked to wait for miraculous help instead of their own efforts. Although many things in life are beyond our control, it is our responsibility to utilize the opportunities at our disposal.

The economy of your country can lead to a few limitations but this doesn't mean that it's going to keep you stuck, as long as you are putting in consistent effort to grow financially you are going to definitely get results. A lot of people blame the economy for not living the life they planned to live. when it comes to faith and religion this has nothing to do with the progress that you make, saying that your life depends on the economy is an excuse, everything depends on the efforts you make.

[New Judgement]

Your life isn't running on autopilot anymore; it runs on your efforts, strength, strategy, smartness, choice and your financial habits.

the effort and the decisions matter more than stay waiting for the luck. But the things are not 100% under our control. The place where we are born, the family, the health and the economy around influence alot.
For this, I would say that we have control over alot of thing, but not over all.

Anywhere you are born you have an economy there, people are surviving and making a living there. Wherever you’re born, your survival depends on you. Op is not saying you must make it to the top of the ladder before you win, but you are responsible for what you get, not god. Irrespective of how poor the economy is, people are still paying rent, eating food, wearing clothes. So for someone waiting for god to intervene and provide for them, believing that their lives are in god hand, such people will die poor with nothing. And I think op is right.

Economy is actually a very integral part of human life and somehow, your economy determines your general well being. God has given man everything he needs to prosper and told him to go and explore, the efforts you put in, the decision you make, the dreams you have and the goals you wish to achieve. All these moulds us into what we truly are. Some people spend more energy on religion than they put into getting a good life.

Many things we pray for can actually be solved by Money and having money also make religion sweet. A poor religious person will never be happy because right at the worship places he will be put in the lowly class while the economic powers of the religion will be given the high places to occupy not minding their faith nor beliefs.

In summary, we all need God always, but knowing your God should not be the reason you ignore your economy at anytime.

[hafiztalha]

Sometimes people think that God has the key of money and also the way to success but I believe too well that it's not , you are the power of everything, what you wish for yourself you make a move you will definitely achieve that and not actually depend it on the hands of God , sometimes the poverty that many people are is coursed by them selves because when you look at it , you will see that God has finished his creation and left for you to fight for survival, though the economy isn't where the issue is even coming from , economy is just your society so if your economy or your society is not good can't you change it, to make it suit your self, so in otherwise I will say that making a way out is the best way and nothing else, fight and survive by your self and never depends on anyone for help or looking up to someone who will give you the whole world.

Personal effort is very important but we cannot assume that everyone poor is responsible for their poor situation. There are people who are working really hard and make good decision but they still struggle for multiple reasons including inflation, corruption, unemployment or a lack of opportunities. We can take this for our lives.

Changing societies is not easy as it looks specially for the people who do not have required amount of money and have little amount. Having faith in God does not mean sitting idle and waiting for the miracles to happen. There are people who believe in God but they also work really hard to improve their lives. Instead of blaming poverty on economy, we should recognise personal responsibility and social conditions that can play role in how people live.

I watched a podcast and in that Podcast, the speaker said that God does not choose who is rich and poor, because he has set up laws and principles that if followed by anyone will lead them to enough richess. church people may get angry that you are saying that it is not in God's hand, but the do not understand because of their failure to have good understanding.
Many Countries that are very religious that have many religious are mostly struggling economically because when they should be working, they are practicing religion.

[Taricoins]

Everyone has the capacity to determine for themselves, and this is why our decision lies in the outcome of what we are going to see from it. No one is tied to a particular economy or state in life; if you are more convinced to go for it, we should stop being too dependent, because it makes us not realize what is ahead of us, so we could go after something better to grab. We can achieve anything as long as we are committed to making it a reality for us

In a nutshell,  I do feel like this is true but circumstances can always deem the light on opportunities, a friend once told me that "when opportunities meets a prepared mind, their is instant success" but I feel you can be prepared and still the opportunities won't get to you because of the environment you find yourself, I know it's not an excuse but the economy around a country can limits one potential

[sunsilk]

People with faith don't think that their lives are on an autopilot. Because if that means that we're not going to move and act and provision will just fall off from above, that's the old belief.

We're on the modern days, if you're not going to work for your own food then you'll get hungry. And that also means that you're relying too much to your luck.

Lazy people use this as an excuse and look at the wealthy people, they're already rich and yet they still continue to do all of the hard work.

[Makus]

I won't even say it is in the economy because this is another mistake people make; they think the bad economy is their limit and they can't become better or do the things they want to do. Hard work pays a lot, and you can be whatever you want to be. If you rely on God without applying any effort, this is a very big mistake. If you think that because of the economy you can't chase that business idea, then you will remain the same. In this hard economy, there are people who are still doing better in their business because they understand that a bad economy is not their limitation.

One thing about this is their mindset and the factor is their mindset which is influenced by their environment. If you live in a country where the economy is poor it is very hard to think of ways that you can step out of hardship, this doesn't mean that it cannot be done but where you are at that point keeps your mindset limited if you allow it. It takes a lot of discipline to avoid getting stuck in such web. People that do well in a difficult economy have trained their mindset to see beyond the economic situation and go for what they want.

[Abdulzuruku01]

Everything is in God's hand because without him we can do nothing or become successful. However, that doesn't mean that you should only be praying to God without looking for a means of income and work to improve yourself.

It's just like the same thing happening in my country. We are praying to God everyday for good economy in order to make the country a better place than how it is, but the citizens and leaders are not changing from their corrupt ways to help the country economy grow. Is it God that will come down and change it?

Absolutely not, God only helps those who help themselves and this is a point that the majority of us fail to understand, specifically in some parts of African countries. People around the world have been saying that Africa is one of the most religious continents and I respect that. But that is not the only reason we should be praised, we must love our country and support our local production, such as farming and other things that will boost the country economy. We also need to be responsible citizens and follow the laws

On the other hand, leaders must do their primary duties and should use every possible way to keep improving their nations.  
Despite the fact that there is a judgment day, any leader or individual found in corruption must be taken to justice and dealt with here, without relying only on the hereafter.

Most religions encourage hard work. It is not wrong to have faith that God can be helpful in or quest to gain economic stability, but it is wrong to solely depend on Him for every process. I see people in my country close their businesses because they want to attend religious programs. Instead of giving more attention and putting more effort into making their businesses or work prosper, they want to seek divine intervention for quick results. They fail to understand that we have all that we need to be successful in life. All we need to do is discover and put them to work. We are permitted to seek divine assistance only when we are doing the physical tasks.

Certainly, everything you do depends on the kind of life you live and unfortunately and fortunately for some persons, the environment you live in can also determine how well or badly you live, especially with the way the economy is in our today world. If you find yourself in an environment that the citizens have to deal with providing basic amenities for themselves even after paying tax and all, something that the government is supposed to provide, if you find yourself in such environment, even with your all your effort and all, if the right opportunity doesnt provide and it rarely does in such environment, you will find it hard to live but in place where everthing as far as basic amenities is concerned, i promise you things are alot of better and easier. So yes, your economy strongly affects your life.
