Hello. I'd like to know what do you do when things that were planned and arranged and were really important don't go as expected or even fail?
Thank you for your answers!

If Ive' prayed and things don't turn out the way I was hoping, I would just go with it believing that it is the answer God has given me and move on because we are not in control of our future and God knows what he is doing.

Prov 19:21
Many are the plans in the mind of a man, but it is the purpose of the Lord that will stand.
Blessings and Peace!

I believe Gods POWER is high above all, is revealed, is mysterious.

Mysterious…meaning…it is mysterious, when “something” that catches your “curiosity”… a complete stranger, has a positive effect on you…or you open Scripture and randomly are directed to what you needed to hear.

AS well, “circumstances”… that at the moment, may perturb you…waiting in line, stuck in traffic, etc… Yet, “IF” had “YOUR” hurried plan been “effected”…. You likely would have “rushed” into a disaster…an accident, a sink hole, a what-ever you realize being moments sooner…where you wanted to be…would have had a dastardly outcome.

Sort of makes you pause, reflect, calm down, about me, me, me, I, I, I had a plan…and reminding and thankful…Gods plans for you are Bigger than ones-self direction.

God Bless you.

Glory to God,
Taken

Jer 10:23O LORD, I know that the way of man is not in himself: it is not in man that walketh to direct his steps.
Ro 8:27And he that searcheth the hearts knoweth what is the mind of the Spirit, because he maketh intercession for the saints according to the will of God.
Ro 8:28And we know that all things work together for good to them that love God, to them who are the called according to his purpose.
Then if we do love God... Give God the glory!

Some things in the past did not go as I planned. They instead went the opposite. Now …looking back where it was meant for harm (seemingly)…God used it for good. Meaning towards a better outcome outside of my own plans or control. That may not make sense or sounds like bogus. But never in the midst of things not going as planned do I cheer or feel good about it. I get angry. Depressed. Wanting to give up. It will feel so dark as if the storm will never pass. But it does. And then outside of the storm …on the other side of it…I would say those were some of the times I felt oddly the closest to God when I was curled up in the fetal position afraid of things not going as I had planned. To me every time it builds a confidence…little by little …to not forget it passes.

Is it not something like this?
Ps 30:5For his anger endureth but a moment; in his favour is life: weeping may endure for a night, but joy cometh in the morning.

I might not react very well when those things happen.
