Providentialism

Providentialism is the belief that a divine power or God actively oversees and guides the course of events in the world, ensuring that everything happens according to a divine plan. It posits that God's care and purpose influence human affairs, offering a sense of meaning and order in life's occurrences. This worldview often encourages trust in divine intervention and the idea that some events, even challenges, serve a greater purpose within a divine scheme. It emphasizes the idea that life's outcomes are, at least in part, directed by a benevolent higher power.
