"yield to the incomprehensibility of God's providence"

I saw this quote: "yield to the incomprehensibility of God's providence", and it really struck me. First of all, I need to give credit to Saint John Chrysostom as I read it in the Magnificat on the day of his memorial. 

It helped me answer questions that swirl around in my head
  • What are God's plans?
  • Why is there suffering for some and joy for others?
  • Am I doing what God wants me to do?
  • and so many more
God is beyond anything that I can ever comprehend and I shouldn't try. When I try to understand His plans, purpose, and desires, I am trying to put myself on His level, which I am no where near Him.

I need faith
            I need trust
                        I need love
                                    I need hope
                                                   I need community
                                                                     I need to learn
                                                                                         I need to act
                                                                                                        I need to pray.
                                                                                                                        I need God!

If I have those, I am growing toward God and pray that if I am blessed to enter into heaven, I will then be able to comprehend God's providence.
