Romans 8:18-28

While we’re in our periods of waiting, it’s important to remember that God’s got a plan. Romans 8:28 tells us that He’s working everything in our lives together for good. This can be hard to believe when we’re in pain or discomfort, but faith helps us see the bigger picture and trust that even the tough times are part of His plan.

Today, think about how God has used past challenges for good in your life. Seeing this pattern can help you find hope and patience when new storms come. Sometimes it’s not easy to have faith during hard times, but knowing that God is always in control and working for our good gives us the courage to wait.

• How have past challenges shaped your understanding of God's goodness?

• What good have you experienced from a present or past trial?

• How can you keep an eternal perspective in your current situation?

• Pray for the ability to see God's hand in your trials.

• Ask God to reveal the good He is working in your life right now.
