It's important because God's plan is better, more rewarding, and more fulfilling. His ways are higher and better than our ways, and trusting his plan can save us from frustration and disappointment.
Why should we surrender our will to God's will when things don't make sense?
Surrendering our will to God's will helps us avoid frustration and disappointment. It allows us to trust that God has something better in mind, even if we don't understand it at the moment.

Why did God allow Abraham to face the test of sacrificing Isaac?
God wanted to test Abraham's trust and willingness to surrender his will, even when it didn't make sense. Abraham's obedience and trust led to a greater fulfillment of God's promise.
Why is it important to hold tightly to our dreams but loosely to how they will happen?
Holding tightly to our dreams but loosely to how they will happen allows us to stay open to God's plan, which may include unexpected detours and twists. This trust ensures that we are not frustrated when things don't go according to our plans.
