Why are you upset when you are robbed of time, money, things or plans? Do I not own all time, money, things and plans? Do I not Love you and walk with you each day? Rather than be upset by the robbery, consider it a new twist in Our adventure together. Understand that the lost one who made the choice to steal from you is a potential friend who needs Me. James 1:2-4  2 Consider it all joy, my brethren, when you encounter various trials, 3 knowing that the testing of your faith produces endurance. 4 And let [e]endurance have its perfect result, so that you may be perfect and complete, lacking in nothing. James 1:12 Blessed is a man who perseveres under trial; for once he has been approved, he will receive the crown of life which the Lord has promised to those who love Him. Romans 8:28 And we know that God works all things together for the good of those who love Him, who are called according to His purpose. Matthew 6:25, 32-34  Therefore I tell you, do not worry about your life, what you will eat or drink; or about your body, what you will wear. Is not life more than food, and the body more than clothes? . . .  32 your heavenly Father knows that you need them. 33 But seek first his kingdom and his righteousness, and all these things will be given to you as well. 34 Therefore do not worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will worry about itself. Each day has enough trouble of its own.
