I've always loved surprises, all kinds and sizes. The greatest surprise has been the revelation of the presence and goodness of God, especially when life does not make sense and things are not going as planned. I've often thought, if. we were able to watch episodes of our life with the full vision of the presence of God as well as angels surrounding us, then, we would see life differently, realizing living in faith is not a risk but the wisest and best life.
Consider the Message:
If I were in your shoes,
I'd go straight to God,
I'd throw myself on the mercy of God.
After all, he's famous for great and unexpected acts;
there's no end to his surprises. (Job 5:8a, The Message)
When we hang out with God, we're changed. We step into the realization God is not only present but will not leave us, entering the space of life that allows us to receive the unexpected and surprising activity of God into our daily life. It's the place where more is experienced than what could be thought, asked, or imagined with the promise that there's more to come. Trust comes and worry dissipates as we become more aware and attentive to the great and surprising active work of God on our behalf.

I know for sure, we would see there's no room for fear, if, we could see the reality of the supernatural. The thing is . . . God is never contained . . . despite our limited perception of what is.But. When we see life through our limitations, we miss the surprising miracle of living.
