Some days our minds have a difficult time understanding God’s plan. At least that’s true for me. I’m guessing it’s true for you too. We want so desperately to “get it all.” To see God’s plan for the future. To understand how it is all going to work out right here on this earth. In this decade. Or this year. Or this week. Or this second.

3 “Neither this man nor his parents sinned,” said Jesus, “but this happened so that the works of God might be displayed in him. John 9:2 John 9 John 9:4. In Context Parallel Compare. Jesus answered,Neither hath this man sinned, nor his parents: but that the works of God should be made manifest in him.

We can’t see the future. I know that’s a huge surprise to you.

I can’t see the future. Although my kids might argue with that statement a bit. After all, they think I have eyes in the back of my head.

When I can’t understand God’s plan, there is a question I find myself asking:

Where is God in all this?

The more I’ve been reflecting on this question recently, the more I’ve realized that the problem is not where God is.

Because God is everywhere.

The problem is that I’m asking the wrong question. You see, the question I should be asking is:

Why can’t I see God in this?

Because His fingerprints are all over His handiwork. Even when bad things happen to good people, He molds and reshapes until you can’t even recognize the bad anymore. It’s a plan called “redemption.”

So I’ve stopped asking God where He is. I mean, it’s pretty obvious that He’s been here since before the beginning of time and He’s not going anywhere. The Alpha and Omega.

I’ve started asking Him to reveal Himself to me.

Lord, help me see Your work in this situation.

I pray prayers like this one for when you can’t understand God’s plan.

And I am reminded to trust the Creator of the universe through these 14 Bible verses for when I can’t understand God’s plan.

So I thought I would share them with you.

Great is our Lord, and abundant in power; his understanding is beyond measure. Psalm 147:5

When I look at your heavens, the work of your fingers, the moon and the stars, which you have set in place, what is man that you are mindful of him, and the son of man that you care for him? Ps. 8:3&4

Can you send forth lightnings, that they may go and say to you, ‘Here we are’? Who has put wisdom in the inward parts or given understanding to the mind? (this is God questioning Job) Job 38:35&36

For thus says the LORD, who created the heavens (he is God!), who formed the earth and made it (he established it; he did not create it empty, he formed it to be inhabited!): “I am the LORD, and there is no other. Isa. 45:18

But if God so clothes the grass, which is alive in the field today, and tomorrow is thrown into the oven, how much more will he clothe you, O you of little faith! Luke 12:28

For my thoughts are not your thoughts, neither are your ways my ways, declares the LORD. For as the heavens are higher than the earth, so are my ways higher than your ways and my thoughts than your thoughts. Isa. 55:9

Know therefore that the LORD your God is God, the faithful God who keeps covenant and steadfast love with those who love him and keep his commandments, to a thousand generations, Deut. 7:9

For this God is our God for ever and ever: he will be our guide even unto death. Ps. 48:14

Trust in the LORD with all your heart, and do not lean on your own understanding. In all your ways acknowledge him, and he will make straight your paths. Prov. 3:5&6

Have you not known? Have you not heard? The LORD is the everlasting God, the Creator of the ends of the earth. He does not faint or grow weary; his understanding is unsearchable. Isa. 40:28

The fear of the LORD is the beginning of wisdom; all those who practice it have a good understanding. His praise endures forever! Ps. 111:10
