Aing davar omeid is a Gemara. I don’t have the source but it’s a well know Gemara obviously it doesn’t mean Hashem can’t stop you but if the thing you want to do is good He won’t stop you and if it’s bad He won’t stop you in most cases because there is bechira which Hashem doesn’t like to mess around with.
I was thinking that what was Hitler yemach shemos power? His power was an otherworldly intense ratzon to wipe us out. I think he would have immediately been stopped if there was a counterbalance of love by someone anyone for Jews. He was so consumed with his hatred. I think if we could have found a Jew or non Jew so consumed with ahavas Yisroel he would have had no power. I’m not chas veshalom minimizing the ahava that the Jews had for each other at that time however it is much harder to love than to hate. One has to work very hard to feel a strong love for a stranger even though he is Jewish.
I’m just saying an idea I thought of. I can’t prove it but I think it has truth to it.
