And yes, God does have a plan for each and every human being, but unless they choose to accept Him, and His will for their lives, He cannot work out His plan in their lives.
And for you to say that your freewill is an illusion, and to "leave it up to Him to direct my thoughts on the matter" is a cop out. God already made a way for you to know Him and to know His plan for your life; it is up to you to find out the plan by knowing God's Son. There is no other way and unless you do know His Son and have a personal relationship with Him, your thoughts are your own and your choices are your own and can be attributed to no one but you.
God has made a way for man and God has made Himself available to man and God has met man halfway. It is up to man to choose whether or not he will accept God's way or go his own way and live with the consequences of rejecting God.
If God has a plan, and He cannot be wrong, how can anything not follow the plan?
Why is it a cop-out?
Again, I can not even attempt to know God’s intentions as well as you appear to.
