Christianity --Youth Issues/Submitting to God's will?

Question
Hello again, I'm the same Elizabeth that asked the "My Christian Life in Crisis" question. Things have been getting better, but I have ran into one issue that I can't seem to get around.

For awhile I had a lot of fear of the future (and still do kind of), I have been thinking about it, and I think I know the root of it. I want to plan my life, I want it to be quiet and not to difficult....but I'm scared that God has other ideas. I know I should submit to His will and follow His guide, but I have a hard time not following my own dreams instead. Of course, this tug of war is giving me very little peace.

Any advice on how I can solve this and leave it behind? I am having real issues submitting to what God has for me in the future - and I don't even know what it is yet.

Thanks,
Elizabeth
