In the same token I don't understand why God would want to help CLK get more than what he owes for the building. I asked some pretty simple questions regarding to the value of the building which he has yet to answer.
I wasn't looking for an argument, but understand how hard it is for someone of faith to explain to someone who does not and questions it without taking offense.

As I understand it as a Believer, Tyler, the Lord, or (God) for purposes of this discussion, set into motion the entire Universe. This included man's free will, and random chance. If the teenager was harmed/killed needlessly by an errant emergency vehicle, that's just part of random chance. The chances of anything happening that can be explained. The chance that someone is rear-ended on their way home from work today, the chance that someone may win millions of dollars on a $2 lotto ticket, etc. The entire Universe was set-in-motion by the Lord our God - the rest is left up to random chance, and up to the individual to figure out how to avoid disaster, calamity/pain.
Robert's praying on his building's sale, is no different than Tim Tebow doing his praying to the Lord deal. Who knows whether or not it will work. If it makes him feel better, great. Regardless, some Believers believe that everything is God's Will, when in fact MOST everything is probably either man's planning, OR random chance. Nothing more. Robert has the power and responsibility to PLAN his future, perhaps more than he may think, IMO.
