Everything happens by the will of God. Whatever He wills happens, and whatever He does not will does not happen.
God had a plan for you before you were born, and He still has a plan for you.

I wanted to help him because he had suffered the calamity of his father’s death, and he is responsible for his siblings and his mother, but he went down the path of keeping company with bad people.
