THE LORD GOD YOU CAN DO WHATEVER YOU WANT

Why do you say this?
From what perspective are you saying it?
God wants and works towards what is best for us.
But only those who are ignorant think that God's best is the same as our greedy desires.

Personally, I think God works towards whatever is best for Him which seems right in my eyes as He is the only being with intrinsic worth. If you know of a verse in which God favors man over Himself I would be curious to hear it. At best one could state God did an act that one subjectively feels favors man more than Himself like dying on the cross.
Now, for those He places in Christ, I agree that He works for what is best for them in a secondary sense where God is still the primary target of blessings and glory.
For those going to spend 99.9999999% of their lives in hell. it would be better that they were never born.
God has never promised that we will have an easy life.
In fact he promises the opposite. Jesus said as I have been treated so the world will treat you.
I have not said or implied this.
As you quoted me, " God wants and works towards what's best for us."
As Romans 8:28 says All things work together for the good of those who are called according to His purpose.
That literally means every incident, whether good or bad, is drawing us closer to Gods purpose for us.
What is mans purpose? To glorify God and to enjoy him forever.
God is without boundaries and has unlimited power and authority. He is limitless in all he has ever done, ever will do or ever speak as all of creation is subject to his omnipotence. We can read of God’s creation in Genesis chapter one that he is the creative word as he only had to speak the universe into existence and it was done. Genesis 17:1, 2 he is expressed by his name Almighty God before Abraham who spoke with great authority and power as he told Abraham to walk worthy before him and made his covenant between himself, Abraham and all generations to come in Genesis 12.
God is in control of nations and nature through out history as we can clearly see that his word says do not touch mine anointed in Psalms 105:15 as God’s covenant is to all generations that will walk and be made perfect before him. God has control of all the covenant promises he has made with his people and that no one can interfere with what God has given them. A good example of this is when God gave Israel the land of Canaan that was rich with milk and honey that they should never depart from that land. Many have tried to come against Gods Promised Land and God will always put the enemy in our hands with his unlimited power and authority, which is also given to us through grace to stand against the enemy.
God’s omnipotence is expressed through his son Christ Jesus whom gave his life as a ransom so we could have eternal life with the Father, John 3:16; Romans 10:9, 10. God’s infinite power is shown through the Holy Spirit that guides us, comforts us, protects us and teaches us all things of Gods word, John 14:26.
Through doubt, which is lack of faith, we at times limit God and place boundaries around him that shuts off his power and authority in our lives especially when we face trials and tribulations we allow ourselves to get caught up in and see no way out, which opens the door for Satan to bring fear into our thoughts. James 1:17 says every good gift and every perfect gift is from above and comes down from God whom is no variableness, but we try to change what God is even when he is unchangeable and we can not fathom with our carnal mind how God can change every situation in our life.
God only wants the best for us and will always give us his best in his timing. When we wait on Gods timing then his perfection is fulfilled in us which brings glory and honor to his name. Isaiah 40:31 But they that wait upon the LORD shall renew their strength; they shall mount up with wings as eagles; they shall run, and not be weary; and they shall walk, and not faint. Teach us Lord of your omnipotence that we may walk before you in all your fullness.
