Does the Bible really say God will force you into success and glory?

Like, God forced me to choose my rich boyfriend when my original plan was to choose a guy who made minimum wage that I met from work.

God forced me to choose a new career when my original plan was to make low pay at a normal job.

I got a box of tea for people who took care of our home while we were on vacation and my mother will not let me gift it to them, so now I will consume it myself.

I chose to go to U of T because it was the second school that I got accepted into, and it was closer than the first school I got accepted into, I did not choose U of T because of it's reputation or Name recognition in the world.

All my friends are rich and I choose them because they were the only ones that would invite me to hang out that were not associated with people from church that I was avoiding, I did not choose them because they were rich, they chose me because they trusted me.

Biblically, God gives us free will and guides our steps, but He doesn't force us into worldly success or wealth. Passages like Jeremiah 29:11 talk about plans for hope and a future, but success and glory" in the Bible are usually spiritual like growth in character, wisdom, and faith rather than high incomes or status. Often, God redirects our paths when our circumstances change, but attributing personal choices entirely to divine force can oversimplify how God works with our free will.
