Change happens. You can't stop it, and you can't deny it. Trying to stop it will frustrate and exhaust you. Denying it will just leave you in confusion. What happened a minute ago will never happen the exact same way. It can be repeated but never duplicated identically. The variables are such that only the God of the Universe can fathom the calculations.
This same God knows the end from the beginning. He knows that the old things must pass away in order for the new to come. In our humanity we fear. We fear what we cannot control, but the joke is on us because we were never in control to begin with. Proverbs 3:5-6 tells us to "lean not on our own understanding", but to "trust Him with ALL THINE HEART", and "acknowledge Him" in all our ways. Trusting Him means getting out of our own heads, and letting Him be the one to move us, guide us, hold us in place or pull us out of the way.
Our humanity makes us flawed and prone to get it wrong, all-of-it WRONG! But God, the Lord and Savior of all who choose to submit to Him, has NEVER GOTTEN IT WRONG. He is not dismayed by what is happening, and we shouldn't be either. I am not ashamed of The Gospel, nor am I in fear of what lies ahead. I know it isn't easy to accept or to wrap our minds around, but that is exactly why we have to give Him our heart because it's too much for our mind. If we could reason it all out with our minds, then we (you or I) would be God. Last time I checked I am not. How 'bout you?
