"there is a time to make things happen and a time to let things happen"?

why should this be a law of life?
Answers:
This old prayer may help clarify:

God, grant me the wisdom to change the things that I can, accept the things that I cannot change, and the wisdom to know the difference.

Sometimes the best thing to do is to just sit back and watch things unfold. You can continue to fight, but some situations will only chew you up if you try.
well, like it or not, this seems to be true, to whatever end. too many people think it's all run by fate. too many also think they have control over everything. let's all just live in between.
We apparently have two choices and those you mentiones are the choices. Whether we like it or not, we'll have to face it.
things that are supposed to happen will happen. whether we want them to or not. we are given free will, which, if used, will give us the opportunity to avert death to a point. i'm struggling with this question, and others like it because i lost my husband while i was 5 months pregnant. i've been doing a lot of reading about the afterlife, and this has led me to several conclusions, and more questions of the reality of which we live. based on what i've read, we choose where we are born, to whom we are born, the path we are to travel (generalized, remember, we have free will), the people, places, etc. we are to experience. we even choose our spouses. the whole purpose, according to the literature i've read, for us being here is to learn. we are in school, so to speak. we can alter our paths with the use of our free will. but the things i don't understand is how the authors say there are no such things as accidents or coincidences. if that's the case, then what about free will? is that not a contributor to death some of the time?
