In some ways, that's why my personal take on God has little to do with organized religions.
I settled long ago for a feeling, a sense of some kind of natural emotional instinct telling me that things do have a sort of intended path - much as outlined in the saying that what's for you won't go past you. I've found that to have held true in my own life, where things I had tried hard to achieve never did come my way, but others just fell into my lap, largely the product of having been somewhere and meeting one person who, ages later, would lead me to another and, thus, good things. Even the way I met my wife-to-be was quite extraordinary, IMO. It's as if we are plugged into our own predestined network, one we can't really work.
That there's not some broader deal going down seems too far from my observed reality. It's all I need to keep me assured.
