Do you think we are wishful thinking, in a God?

Sometimes in life Ill think, Im lucky to be alive. Theres times on the road a speeding car alnost creamed me, and just life in general I think, maybe someone is watching over me. But then I think of my aunt, who recently had a rare disorder that caused oxygen to be deprived, rashes. It would eat her own immune system they told her, and it did. One day, only having it a couple months, she said, I dont want to die. 😟 A month later, she passed from that horrible disease. Why wasnt anyone watching out? Was it truly just her time, at only 57??
And you hear of little kids...recently a boy kept a knife under his pillows because his mom was violent. Thinking ahead at a young age for protection. And then, his mother took the knife, and literally stabbed him in the back, and he died. An innocent little being. Was there someone watching over him????? 😢 While I do believe there must be some higher power and am astoundingly grateful for life, Its hard wondering theres a being watching us or that loves us etc, when you think of those examples.

Yeah it's wishful thinking.
People just need something to count on even though there is nothing there.
If no one had faith then life would hold no meaning to most.
The struggles we deal with and conquer are triumphs.
The struggles we deal with and lose are lessons that allow us to not make that same mistake again.
Anything worth having is worth working for.
That's about all the Bible tells us in a nutshell.
But no one would follow any of the suggestions or even rules from the Bible if there wasn't someone to enforce those rules and something to lose for not abiding by them.
God I hope that made some kind of sense.
