There comes a time in your walk with God, when you "know" him. Now that's not to say you know everything! God is way beyond the boxes of our tiny minds! But when you "know" someone, you have an instinctive trust about what you can expect from them.
I know he is good - and he cannot be otherwise. I know he is light - there is no darkness in him. I know he has a depth of love and compassion beyond anything we've ever experienced - he IS love! I know he forgives - and paid with his own life to be able to do that! I know he has integrity greater than any human - he is faithful to who he is and will never change. And I know he will be with me always - he has promised, and he never lies. Now that doesn't mean I won't experience the harshness of this life. We know that's not true - it's all around us! But his presence is always there to hold and strengthen us and give us comfort.
So when it comes to the things I don't know, I don't always need to know the answers! Because I know him! And I trust him! I know he's good and trustworthy - even though terrible things happen! And I know he'll bring good out of them - because that's what he does. And when I wonder about how much of a fairytale heaven and the new earth seems to be sometimes, I can still believe it - because of who he is!
So if you're struggling with questions about life and where it's going, try finding out who this God of mine is. He holds my life. He's my rock.
