The Bible says:

Psalm 37:23
The steps of a good man are ordered by the LORD: and he delighteth in his way.

Proverbs 15:19
The way of the slothful man is as an hedge of thorns: but the way of the righteous is made plain.

Proverbs 28:1
The wicked flee when no man pursueth: but the righteous are bold as a lion.


..........In other words, according to Numbers:

Numbers 32:23
But if ye will not do so, behold, ye have sinned against the LORD: and be sure your sin will find you out.


......I think we have free will to do as we choose. I'm not sure that what you speak of was predestined. God knows what will happen. Does He intervene? At times. Do we believe prayer works?...If so, we believe that God does intervene but we must ask, seek and knock, then He opens the door.

This might not be making much sense to you right now. I've had a loooong day at work.
