a power that rules us?

i believe that god is the all powerful ruler. he's our father, and creator. but god decided to give us the power to control our own fates. he let us choose our own paths. sure he helps every now and then, especially when you ask. but we basically rule ourselves. we make all of our decisions of our own accord. many times we let other people rule us, and make laws for the rest of us to follow. but in the end, we all rule our own selves.
