Do you believe that when there is a will there is a way?

Question

this is mostly for other christians (but anyone can answer, i dont care)

i dont....because i have a will but every way possible has been blocked by something even after i gave up a lot, only to find out it was pointless.

to me its just a saying and holds barely, if any, truth to it. and those that found a "way" got lucky.

do you believe in the saying?

also just curious....do you believe in luck (good and bad)?

Answer 1

I think if the desire is there when someone wants to accomplish their goals they more than likely will.  Then some of us set unreasonable goals we could never attain.  But we do make our own destiny one way or the other.

Disappointments happen more often than not, so when that's the case I tell myself I gave my best in one way or another.  Sometimes we have to let the chips roll,  find something positive out of a negative, and then carry on.  

Read the poem IF by Rudyard Kipling, it talks about taking chances in life and we don't always achieve what we want then but we pick up the pieces and carry on. The whole poem has a lot more meaning and it may inspire you as it did me.  If it's a Christian answer I would say read Romans 8:35-39. It's always good to go back and reread those verses once in awhile.

Answer 2

God can do all things. We mankind often look at how or what; God decides why, and 'fills in the blanks' (so to speak).  

Answer 3

when there is a will there is a way:

yes cause if u want to do something or reach something u will find a way  no matter how hard it is(except few things if they r very hard to reach or impossible, ex. u cant stand on the sun)

Luck:

u will get lucky if u feel gd and u will get bad luck when u feel bad

if u dont think alot about luck u will get lucky

Answer 4

yes , I believe it .

but it never said where or how , the way , will show up .

knowing the way , is not the work of the will .

the subconscious , God , gardian angels , life , .. or any other name you may wish to use , is true for the one who leads you to the way or show it to you .

the will , only tells that - being - what to look for .

example, I want an answer to a very hard question . my mind could not find any answer that I can accept or believe . I keep the question in my mind , without thinking of an answer to it .... and when I'm busy doing something else ... the answer just show up in my mind from nowhere ! .. it doesn't matter how .. while sleeping or watching TV or talking to a friend on the phone or looking to the sky counting shooting stars !

I don't believe in luck . luck happens in the same way all the above happens .. but when I'm not consciously knowing what I'm doing .

  

Answer 5

Thy will not my will be done

Answer 6

I believe that when there is God's will, there is God's way. If we are within His will, He is always faithful to see us through and show us the way.

No, I do not believe in luck.

Answer 7

I believe when we are in God's will there is a way.

Jas:4:2: Ye lust, and have not: ye kill, and desire to have, and cannot obtain: ye fight and war, yet ye have not, because ye ask not.

But when you ask,

M'r:11:24: Therefore I say unto you, What things soever ye desire, when ye pray, believe that ye receive them, and ye shall have them.

But refrain from doubt and getting in all kinds of works of the flesh, let the peace of God rule in your heart and don't worry about it, if your going to worry don't bother praying.

Take care and may God bless you spiritually.
