films and TV that leave God out of the future

As a person who loves God and has a friendship relationship with Jesus, I am interested in how many films and TV programmes leave God out of the story. As a race of created beings we want to do it on our own, this is probably what sin really is, that we think we can do it on our own. Thinking back to blade runner, then forward to Elysium which was the film that inspired these thoughts. Blade runner suggests a world torn apart, but with God in it all, as he is, things would be very different.
The fears and anxieties regarding the future of the human race and this planet, would all be changed very quickly if the world said sorry to one another and said YES to God and Jesus en mass.
The inspiration for our progress in technology, came from another place, and we have not been careful with some of it and got complacent allowing problems to come about like with Antibiotics.
Left to ourselves without input from God, would we have even survived by now.

You see we think we can do it on our own this thing called life, but can we actually do that, because though many people don't acknowledge him or even want to believe he is there, does not stop the possibility that he is there.
Personally, I know he is there and that he loves me. I have seen things that tell me he is there and whatever films or TV series say or don't say about God, whether they ignore him or think that they can do it on their own, whether life is difficult or not God will have his way.

The tools of my trade and spending money on them

I wonder sometimes when M gets at me for spending money on craft materials and tools, saying I should have saved the money then I would have savings for the future. But does someone tell a plumber or a carpenter not to buy the materials and tools of their trade, NO,NO,NO of course not. They are able to trade and earn money with those materials and tools. I am not by the nature of my position in life, being on the spectrum with an ASD, having struggled all my life to get and keep a job without success.
I find myself having to deal with M whenever life gets difficult for her or she gets angry at me the same old thing comes up, and it has worn me down, it has caused me much upset, because I did not choose this situation, as a human being, unless you subscribe to the teaching that I chose before I was born to be born.
anyhow I believe that I did choose this time, and God chose this family for me. But it is not helpful or encouraging to have the one person who says she loves you and would do anything to help you and take your problems on herself, to actually be the one who, critiscises me and tells me off or makes comments about things. I tend to be secretive about anything I buy which costs a large amount of money, because I am buying tools of my trade, which in the years ahead I hope I will be given the freedom to use to make money or to trade for other goods.
I know that Papa God will look after us and that I have to trust him to do that, as I have done since the age of 13, and also with my family since birth and my inability to work in the western world has left me in a strange nomansland which unless you have experienced it the way I have, you cannot even imagine what it is like, or how it feels.
I have to believe that this is how life was going to to be, that all the struggle and upset that so filled my life growing up, meant that I would arrive at this point and that God in all his wonder and majesty ordained this to be my destiny.
I don't know what is ahead but I have surrendered my life to Jesus and my hopes, my dreams, my sadness, my brokenness, my future, even my calling on this planet is surrendered  to him.
Maybe, all the money I  have spent and am now spending may have been better spent elsewhere, but there is no help or advice being offered apart from criticism on the ground.
the only place I have been getting any info from is from Heaven from the Holy Spirit  and if I  have  been hearing wrong and I am wrong then I am sorry and I repent. But it would be nice not to have the same old phrase of  "spending too much money" thrown at me, when M has told me quite a few times to go for something I wanted to buy, telling me I had enough money. She seems to think that I am out of control with my spending. Things are more expensive now so to get what I need I don't buy as many luxuries, and I don't see crafting as a luxury, it is my way of contributing to people in the community, and that is not a luxury, but something that most people take for granted who have to work.
