God has a plan for everything and we're the soldiers in said plan. But there's some verses about how even the rocks will cry out to praise Him if we fail to do so. Or something to that effect from what I recall.
When something goes wrong in His plan it's our fault, we must take ownership of our piece. When something goes right in his plan it's because we humbled ourselves enough to do what He knows is right.
This isn't all some play where we get to sit back and watch because we know how it will end. And I hate when believers act as such. Just like I hate when people blame god for the fallout allowing us to choose free will has lead to.
"God let's babies die!" Uh no. "We" thought we could handle the knowledge of good and evil and look where we are today....
Because your assumption is that we're all on rails and stuck doing what "god's plan" is. Why then does he ask us to pray if we have no influence? He also created us in his image (sovereign) meaning individual and capable of autonomy. The way you're describing God is actually based around an assumption that he isn't all that he actually is and is diminishing his glory. And as such, we're not describing the same creator, though we use the same name and words.
He will, though there's no guarantee our earthly lives will be nice. Eventually, though, no matter what we suffer here on Earth, I hope God forgives me of my sins enough to allow me to spend eternity by His side.
Because his people rebel and forget Him not just because he desires it.
I said nothing about desire.
I just hate that people think God will make everything nice again.

His plan doesn't go wrong. It's his plan, and he is perfect, therefore the plan is perfect. Genocide and all.
Do you believe we have free will and choice?
