Romans 8:28
And we know that all things work together for good to them that love God, to them who are called according to his purpose.
----------------------------
This verse tells me that I should not worry about anything that comes my way because everything that comes my way is going to be used for my good ,because I am a child of God.
The good things in life are wonderful and are blessings from God.
However, it's hard to see how bad things,tough times, and troubles can be good,but they can be. God uses everything... even the bad times to strengthen us.
Through the bad times in my life I was taught patience, endurance, trust, faith, and compassion. It was during those times that I found myself drawing closest to God. It was during those times that I grew the most as a person/Christian.
If we look at it like this,we can praise God in the good times as well as the bad.
