Living
Waiting, is part of the living process,
Learning, gathers what living means,
Preparing, allows the worst to fall upon the living,

Living is about Waiting for the result while Learning whats around, thus, Preparing for what's coming.

God
People tends to ask themselves always "Where's god?", "Can god help me?", "What's god doing when i'm suffering?" and "Will god forgive me for what i've done?". But not to be forgotten to ask yourself how did you come to stand wherever you are? If he had ever left you, you will not be where you are. He had never left you, he will never leave you. Everything that happened, it happened for a reason. Be happy it happened, and you will see beyond the dark clouds that the clear blue sky is waiting for you.
