that got me thinking - we recite this creed weekly. or the Nicene Creed. yet, do we mean what we say and truly believe in him? or is it just an obligation, because it is part of the Mass?

this isnt exactly relevant but i found this rather thought-provoking. :)

"I know that God won't let bad things happen to me" as Vincent wrote on his blog, and his steady relationship with the Lord is because he trusts God.

its hard at times to not push the blame to God when we're faced with a crisis, yet what Vincent said is true, in certain ways. Indeed, the Lord wont send a problem our way if its not meant to be. He has our paths set out and i doubt He will intentionally place an obstacle in front of us. However, some things are inevitable, such as the death of a loved one. Isnt that a bad thing? Could it then be considered as something God let happen to us?

yes, it can. however, God didnt say that he isnt there for us when such events occur. In fact, He will always be there for us, no matter what happens.

Just like this story of Footprints.

Not only can we trust in Him to not let bad things happen to us, at least those that aren't predestined, we can also take comfort that He will always be there to carry us when we are down. By trusting and believing, i feel that the relationship between us and God will only get stronger.
