For Christians we see God in three aspects as Son reliant on his father for his energy and who he is, also as the Spirit which feeds God the fathers people with spiritual nourishment and the guidance they need, and as the Father doing all the things listed above and more.
Like any father God wants the best for his children but also knows interfering in their lives will be resented. So God the father tries to guide us not control us. We do make mistakes as a result of not apprehending what God is willing us to do or simply ignoring it as many do. This can have direct consequences of our lives, those around us and indirect consequences like global warming which has affects all sorts of people.
God sees that ultimately all will be alright but knows to how we can cause suffering in the mean time. So if we follow the way of the Father set down by the Son a better world will surely result?
