Questioning God’s Plan

We’ve all been there—standing at a crossroads, unsure of what to do next and questioning if your choices align with God’s will. Those small doubts grow louder: Am I on the right path? Why isn’t this making sense? It’s natural to wrestle with the tension between your plans and God’s purpose, but leaning into His guidance strengthens your faith and fills your heart with peace.

The heart of man plans his way, but the Lord establishes his steps.
– Proverbs 16:9 ESV

God’s plans are intentional and unshakable. Trusting Him doesn’t mean abandoning your dreams; it means bringing them under His authority, trusting that His ways are higher, and His purpose is greater than anything you could design.

When questions fill your mind, it’s probably because you can’t see the whole picture. Maybe your career feels stalled, or a relationship seems uncertain. It’s easy to focus on what’s broken or moving slower than you would have hoped, but faith invites you to shift your perspective. Look to the One who sees your complete journey. God’s plans are never rushed or random. He moves with perfect timing, shaping your heart and preparing you for what’s ahead.

God shapes your heart for the future He has planned for you.

Real peace comes when you trust Him to lead. This trust doesn’t look like sitting back and doing nothing—it’s an active faith. Pray with boldness, cling to the promises of Scripture, and move forward in confidence. When challenges come, you’re not left to face them alone. His strength is there to carry you, and His peace steadies you every step of the way.

Your curiosity and questions don’t indicate you lack faith. Even when clarity feels out of reach, stepping forward in alignment with Scripture shows you trust in God’s plan. His purpose is always for your good, even when the road feels unclear or bumpy. Behind the scenes, He’s working, opening the right doors, and closing those that don’t align with His greater plan.
