Even though we make plans, they don’t always align with what God has in store for us. When things occur that WE haven’t planned for, we have to trust that God’s plan is at work. WE may not understand why things happen or for what purpose, but if we trust in God, we can trust Him when He says “For I know the plans that I have for you – plans for good and not for evil; plans to give you a hope and a future.” (Jeremiah 29:11)

So often we spend too much time questioning God instead of following Him.  When we are constantly “talking back”, our ears are closed to what God is saying and our hearts are closed to the comfort that He is trying to provide for us. God’s thoughts are not our thoughts and His ways are not our ways. He is so incredibly amazing and He wants to do incredibly amazing things in our lives, if we will simply trust in Him. When we are discouraged because our PLANS have not succeeded, we need to remind ourselves of Psalms 18:30 “As for God, His way is perfect: the word of the LORD is tried: He is a buckler to all those that trust in Him. ” and Psalm 28:7 – “The LORD is my strength and my shield; my hearttrusted in Him, and I am helped: therefore my heart greatly rejoiceth; and with my song will I praise Him.”
