Yes, we do not need to know everything that God is planning. He will reveal it to us in His timing. When we are ready, when He is ready. I always pray for God's will to be done. A good way that I use is that if I have peace about it *the peace that passes all understanding* that is good enough for me. I do not have to understand the whys about it, I know that I have prayed for God's will & He is leading me. If there is a situation that I am uncertain about, I will not move forward with it until I feel the peace about the decision I am making.
