Life is unpredictable. I will never be able to understand why certain things happen. Why do good people tragically die? Why did the boy you love leave without an explanation? Why did your parents divorce at a young age? Why did that accident on the highway just happen? All these terrible things sometimes don't have easy answers. I spent a long time searching for answers to haunting questions like these. When you can’t find a feasible explanation and you have wrapped your head around every possible concept…don’t panic. God has a plan.

God knows why certain people leave and why others stay. He knows why you were late to class this morning or slept through your alarm. If you would've left on time, maybe it would've been you in the crash you saw on your way to work. It’s truly mind boggling to think about. I know it is frustrating to not always know exactly what He is planning. Sometimes, you just break down and beg him for an answer, like why a loved one passed away before their time. That’s a tough one. However, you just have to pick yourself up and have faith that everything is all going to fall into place. Everything works out in the end, and if it doesn’t…it must not be the end. Right?

I know some people may not believe that God has a plan for their life. Bad things may have happened that make them question the existence of him at all. They become skeptical and lost. I promise you, good things will happen if you put your trust in him. I have experienced this first hand. So stop beating yourself up for answers, God has placed all the people in your life for a reason. Whether it is to help you grow, make you stronger, or realize you need to make a change. If someone leaves your life without an explanation, God most likely saw something better for your future. Be patient, and always stay humble, he knows what he is doing.

So, next time you want to break down, crawl into your bed and question every single life decision you have ever made…take a deep breath and pray. Pray that God will guide you down the right path, and that everything is going to be alright. We don’t have all the answers, and we never will. However, it brings me peace and comfort knowing that God has a plan for me, because I don't know about you, but most days I surely don't know where my life is headed.
