Why is life so confusing sometimes?

This question is brought up approximately 9.7 millions times a day according to the statistics I made up for this post. Why do we ask this question so much? Is there something you don't understand about life? Of course! There is so much that happens in our day to day lives that we don't understand yet we go through it and quietly ponder off the question "why?". Life is so confusing because life is based off God's plans, not yours. We think whatever we plan to happen should happen and that be that. What if everything you wanted to happen actually did happen? Do you think your life would be better or worse? My answer is definitely worse. We always have questions like "God why did you put this girl in life if you won't let me date her?" or "God why did I have to get into so much trouble now, couldn't you have gotten me out of it?"

Ecclesiastes 3:1 (NIV) There is a time for everything, and a season for every activity under heaven

God's plans will domino effect perfectly into what needs to be done in your life so that your life can glorify Him, the King. A lot of the time we are caught even praying for things we think God should do for us instead of praying for God's will to be done in us. Life is not confusing to the Creator of the universe. It is only confusing for us because God is always right while we make mistakes every day. We can't comprehend how each individual event will effect our everyday lives but God can. So next time before deciding that life is confusing, pray that God's will is being done and I really believe you'll have a better sense of how incredibly perfect God works.
