Trusting God’s Plan Without Questioning

Life can often throw unexpected challenges our way, leaving us confused, frustrated, and sometimes even questioning God’s plan. When things don’t go as we expect, it’s easy to wonder, “Why is this happening?” However, in moments of uncertainty, the Bible encourages us not to lean on our understanding but to trust in God’s wisdom (Proverbs 3:5-6). Trusting God means believing that even when we don’t understand, He has our best interests at heart.

There are countless stories in the Bible of people who faced difficult situations yet chose to trust in God’s goodness instead of questioning Him. Take Job, for example. He endured tremendous suffering, losing his children, his wealth, and his health. Despite everything, Job chose not to question God but to trust that He had a reason for it all. In the end, Job’s faith was rewarded, and God restored everything he had lost.

Sometimes, we might not get the answers we want, and that’s okay. God doesn’t always reveal the “why” behind what we go through, but He does promise to be with us in every situation. Romans 8:28 reminds us that “in all things, God works for the good of those who love Him.” This assurance gives us hope, even in the toughest moments.

Personally, I’ve had times when things didn’t make sense, when life seemed unfair, and I wanted to ask God, “Why?” But over time, I’ve learned that questioning God often leads to more frustration. Instead, when I surrender my need to understand everything and trust that God is working for my good, I experience peace.

Jesus Himself, when faced with the greatest trial of all – the cross – chose to trust His Father’s will, even though it meant immense suffering. He prayed, “Not My will, but Yours be done” (Luke 22:42). That act of surrender brought salvation to the world.

It’s not always easy to stop questioning and start trusting, but when we do, we open ourselves to God’s peace. We may not always see what He’s doing in the moment, but we can rest in the knowledge that He is always in control. Instead of asking “Why, God?” let’s trust that He knows what He’s doing, and He’s leading us to something better.
