There is only a remote resemblance of fate to a portion of God's will. However, fate is characterized as an inevitable outcome, often of an undesirable nature. With God, it is possible to ask Him to take care of the future events of life. Committed into His hands, He has a perfect will and purpose for each individual.
There is also the revealed will of God, which is found in the Scriptures. For instance, in 1 Thessalonians 4:3, it says, "For this is the will of God, even your sanctification (setting apart of Christians), that ye should abstain from fornication."

What does 'Antigone' say about fate?
According to the play 'Antigone', fate isn't what a mortal makes of life. Instead, it's what the gods make of the mortal's earthly existence. The mortal may be able to make choices. But every choice leads back to the same destination, the same outcome. Perhaps the best example of the irrelevance of choice is the origin of the English adjective 'trivial'. The word derives from the meeting of three roads. The choice of which road to take is trivial. It's a meaningless choice, because any one leads you to where the gods want you, not where you hope to be going. The gods indeed control everything.
