Freedom ji everything *seemed* to be going well for you according to your own logic but your logic fails you in your own statement here

"God has already helped. Medicines to cure the sick, Money to alleviate poverty and to give food, Raw materials in the environment to build houses, etc."

If God helped by giving medicine to sick, why did he create sickness in the first place? Afai dhami afai jhakri, I guess when you have blind faith, every explanation seems to be devine. Sickness is caused by physical, chemical and biological processes and scientists invented the medicines to counter the effects of sickness. Similarly if God created money to alleviate poverty why did he created poverty in the first place. Again, money was created by human beings as a way of exchanging commodities not handed down by god. You seem to find consolation in attributing everything good to god because it makes you feel like you are a part of a greater scheme of things. If god was so great in providing raw materials to build houses, he could have provided ready made houses so poor human beings would not have to wait thousands of years of civilization to start to live in houses.
