It's funny how we get so moved, shaken, upset, bummed, excited, etc. when things happen around us. I have had to remind myself (especially when I feel I have been caught off guard in life) that what is happening around me is NOT a surprise to God!
Luke 12:7 (Amplified ~ Bible.com) But [even] the very hairs of your head are all numbered. Do not be struck with fear or seized with alarm; you are of greater worth than many [flocks] of sparrows.
God knows our name, sees our pain, fellowships in our weakness, is mindful of us, He loves us, He has been tempted, etc.
When tragedies happen or finances toil, when a check comes in the mail, or a few extra hours on a shift, NONE of this catches God off guard, so really it shouldn't catch us off guard either!
If we are allowing God to work and move in our lives than when the unthinkable (good or bad) happen we can smile and know that the Lord is God and He has our back!

Wait!
How many times have you told your kids to wait? Hold on a minute? Etc.?
How often do you feel that the Lord says the same thing to you? Or worse than that you feel that he doesn't say anything at all.
Isaiah 30:18 (Whole Chapter)
So the Lord must wait for you to come to him so he can show you his love and compassion. For the Lord is a faithful God. Blessed are those who wait for his help.
1 Corinthians 1:7 (NLT - Bible.com)
Now you have every spiritual gift you need as you eagerly wait for the return of our Lord Jesus Christ.
Psalm 5:3 (NLT - Bible.com)
Listen to my voice in the morning, Lord. Each morning I bring my requests to you and wait expectantly.
Don't wait any longer if you feel that you are not hearing from the Lord, try listening and waiting on Him! Sometimes He answers and we are not sure it's the right answer! Wow!
