My God is Almighty, all powerful. He is absolutely in charge of everything that happens in this universe. He is not a god who is taken by surprise by anything that happens to us.

Even the devil is doing God's will even when doing his worst. I recommend a book discussing these things. The Sovereignty of God by A.W.Pink.
