Being thankful when life doesn't work out as planned

Most people nowadays if you asked them would tell you exactly what they want to do in there lives and exactly what it'll take to get there. But what happens when God takes control and changed your life into a direction that wasn't in your step by step life plan, then what?  Then you walk it out and you thank God for whatever it is that you're doing because it's apart of his plan for your life. Even though where you might be right now might be a place you didn't want to be at in this point in your life, you have to understand that God knows every single thing about you and he knows where your life is right now and he knows where it's suppose to be going, and if that's all that you know you're more ahead than most people. Because most people when life doesn't work out exactly how they want it to, they blame God and they become angry at him and they stop depending on him. And that's one of the biggest mistakes that you can make is giving up on God and that you stop believing Jeremiah 29:11 that God has better plans for you than you have for yourself. Just let that sentence sink it, God has better, more successful, happier, and greater plans for you than you could have for yourself! So even your wildest dreams, Gods are ultimately bigger than that. And that God that has dreams that created this entire universe, he has plans for you. He has a will for your life, that if you follow where he wants you to go can make you the happiest that you could possibly be. But you've got to walk through life with God in order to get the reward that he wants to give you. And honestly that's not that hard, because I don't know how you would travel through life without God as your center and how you would ever be happy. And so when you want to take a left and God takes you to the right, thank him for his guiding and and where you're going in life and that where he is taking you is more than you could've ever imagined for yourself. Because God never said that traveling through this life with him would be easy, but he did say that it would be worth it and that it would give you a happiness and a peace that will last an eternity. And that should be the bottom line of what you want out of life. Being in Gods presence and doing his will, and just with that will give you a joy that you couldn't ever get anywhere else.
