There's a lot of things we go through and we don't even know

“There’s a lot of things we go through and we don’t even know why... At the end of the day, God has a purpose and a plan for you, and that’s kind of how I take that.” — these are the words of Morgan Wallen, a man who, like many before him, has walked through both the sunlight of fame and the shadows of hardship. Beneath their simplicity lies a truth as ancient as time itself: that life’s mysteries are not always meant to be solved in the moment, but trusted. Wallen speaks as one who has wrestled with the unknown and found peace not in explanation, but in faith — in the quiet belief that God’s purpose weaves through every joy and every trial, even when the thread cannot yet be seen.

To the hearts that suffer, these words are both balm and challenge. For the human spirit, ever questioning, desires to understand. Why this pain? Why this delay? Why this loss? Yet Wallen reminds us that life’s meaning is not always revealed in the hour of confusion. The storm rarely explains itself while it rages — only when it passes can we see what it washed away and what it made new. In saying “God has a purpose and a plan for you,” he joins the great chorus of souls across centuries who have learned to trust the unseen hand of Providence — to believe that even in silence, Heaven is speaking.

The origin of this wisdom is not in philosophy, but in experience. Wallen’s journey, marked by both triumph and turmoil, reflects the ancient rhythm of fall and redemption. Like many who rise quickly, he faced the weight of error and public judgment. Yet out of that pain came humility, out of brokenness came renewal. His words speak not as a saint, but as a man who has tasted failure and found in it the hidden seed of grace. And in this, he stands among those who learned through hardship that God’s plan is rarely smooth, but always purposeful.

History, too, bears witness to this truth. Consider Nelson Mandela, who spent twenty-seven years behind prison walls, stripped of power, dignity, and freedom. For decades, he could not have known why he was chosen for such suffering. Yet when he emerged, he carried within him a wisdom that would heal a nation. The long years of darkness were not wasted; they were the forge of transformation. So it is with all who endure without understanding — their pain becomes their preparation. God’s purpose is often hidden until the appointed time, and when it is revealed, it redeems every tear.

This truth demands courage — the courage to keep walking when the path is obscured. For when Wallen says, “there’s a lot of things we go through and we don’t even know why,” he speaks to the mystery that humbles every soul. Life’s trials can feel like senseless cruelty, but faith transforms them into sacred classrooms. The heart that trusts learns to see divine intention where others see only chaos. This does not erase pain, but it gives it meaning; it teaches the spirit to bow without breaking, to believe that even wounds can become blessings in disguise.

And yet, this faith does not come easily. It is not the blind optimism of those who have never suffered; it is the hard-earned peace of those who have walked through fire and discovered that they were not alone. To believe in God’s plan when all seems lost is to rise to the highest form of strength — the strength that is gentle, the courage that endures without proof. The ancients called it “trust in the divine order,” a faith that turns despair into devotion.

So what lesson, then, shall we draw from these words? Simply this: Do not curse what you do not yet understand. There will be seasons when life makes no sense, when the purpose of your struggle lies hidden. In those moments, remember Wallen’s truth — that God’s plan is larger than your vision. Be patient in suffering, steadfast in hope. Keep faith even when the map is blank, for every detour, every heartbreak, every delay is shaping you for something beyond your sight. The path may twist, but it leads somewhere holy.

And so, take this teaching as a torch for your journey: Trust the purpose before you see it. When life confuses you, when the “why” remains unanswered, do not despair — for even in your bewilderment, you are being guided. At the end of the day, as Morgan Wallen reminds us, there is a plan. And one day, when the curtain lifts and the pattern of your trials is revealed, you will look back in awe and whisper, “Now I see. God was leading me all along.”
