Stoicism. The two major figures that I use to discuss stoicism are Viktor Frankl and Epictetus. Epictetus was born a slave and was crippled by his owner, but eventually was freed and found a happy life teaching Stoicism. Viktor Frankl wrote about finding meaning in life even living in the concentration camps. While not explicitly Stoic, his Logotherapy lines up very well with Stoic principles.

I’m a big fan of Chris Fisher’s stuff, and I think he has a great take on the Stoic God here: https://traditionalstoicism.com/a-conscious-cosmos/. Another good contemporary Stoic author is Kai Whiting, who has another good take on the Stoic God here: https://stoickai.com/2019/09/19/the-stoic-god-a-call-to-science-or-faith/
