Trust in God's plan

Question

Hi! I'm not Jewish but I have great respect for the Jewish faith. I have 3 children and I'm trying for a 4th. But due to some health issues it isn't happening as quickly as I would like. At the same time I'm dealing with some issues with my coworkers at work. There is someone in particular I feel is very against me. I'm trying to put my faith in God that there is a reason for all this happening. From a Jewish perspective how do I deal with this? Thanks in advance.

Thank you for writing.

As a general rule, it is highly unlikely than any one person is causing you bad luck or the like. As you yourself say, the most important thing is to place one’s fate in G-d’s hands. We believe that you can help to change your fortune by praying to G-d in your own words, giving charity, and doing good deeds.

Allow me to recommend the following sites to learn more about what G-d expects from Gentiles: https://sukkatshalom-bneinoach.com/ and https://www.netivonline.org/ which specializes in helping non-Jews with religious beliefs. There is a wealth of information there that you will find useful and inspiring.
