When Hashem told Avraham to leave his birthplace, Hashem did not tell him where he was going. This was a major part of his Nisayon. To know that he had to do Hashem's will, even if he didn't know what it was in the long term.
Avraham's Nisyonos are ours. Every day when we wake up we have to focus on doing what Hashem wants us to do that day. We don't have to know what the long term plan is, we just have to focus on doing Hashem's will that day. The difficulties, and setbacks that come up are often Hashem's way of directing us to where he wants us to go, and we have to be flexible and make the most of what Hashem sends us.
