In this life, we never know fully what is going to happen. Uncertainty is a very scary thing to most (myself included). It is a very sobering thought to think that you have no idea what is around the corner. All human philosophy teaches that man is the answer to all his own problems, that he is his own salvation and he is in control of what happens to himself, so it is kind of a shock to think that you are so in the dark. When we feel like we are in control, or at least feel like we understand what is happening, we feel as though everything is right, that everything is clear. It is when we feel trapped underneath something we cannot see that we start to realize that there is something bigger than ourselves, that there is more to our world than meets the eye. It is in these times of darkness when we must look to God and simply say, "God, I trust you". God's plan is not what we expect, or even what we think is needed, but it is good, just as God himself is good. We just have to trust that God's timing is not our own and that whatever He is doing is for the good of his children.
