The Bible teaches that God has a sovereign plan for His creation, and that His purpose is to bring about good for those who love Him. According to Romans 8:28, all things work together for the good of those who are called according to His purpose. In Proverbs 19:21 and Jeremiah 29:11, we see that God's plans are to prosper and give hope, even in the midst of uncertainty. Ephesians 2:10 reminds us that we are created for good works, which God prepared beforehand, while Job 42:2 acknowledges God's sovereignty and wisdom in all things.

And we know that God works all things together for the good of those who love Him, who are called according to His purpose.
For we are God’s workmanship, created in Christ Jesus to do good works, which God prepared in advance as our way of life.
For I know the plans I have for you, declares the LORD, plans to prosper you and not to harm you, to give you a future and a hope.
In Him we were also chosen as God’s own, having been predestined according to the plan of Him who works out everything by the counsel of His will,
I declare the end from the beginning, and ancient times from what is still to come. I say, ‘My purpose will stand, and all My good pleasure I will accomplish.’
The LORD will fulfill His purpose for me. O LORD, Your loving devotion endures forever— do not abandon the works of Your hands.
He has saved us and called us to a holy calling, not because of our works, but by His own purpose and by the grace He granted us in Christ Jesus before time began.
