“Many people describe their relationship with God not in abstract terms but in the way they would describe a real personal friend, but a friend who would never betray you.”

From a study of two recent national surveys as reported by the Well Blog – NYTimes.com

The study found that 82 percent of respondents said they “depend on God for help and guidance in making decisions.” And 71 percent believe that good or bad events are “part of God’s plan for them.’’

And one in three respondents agreed with the statement: “There is no sense in planning a lot because ultimately my fate is in God’s hands.”
