Day 13: He Works All Things for Good

Devotion:
Not everything in life feels good. There are moments that leave us questioning, struggling, or even broken. But here’s the truth: God isn’t just present in the easy or joyful parts of your story. He’s right there in the messy, painful, and confusing moments too. And He has a way of taking even those hard places and weaving them into something beautiful.

God’s promise is clear: He works all things—yes, even the struggles—for the good of those who love Him. That doesn’t mean everything will instantly make sense or feel better. It means He’s always working behind the scenes, even when you can’t see it. He’s taking the pieces of your story and crafting something greater than you could imagine.

Whatever you’re facing today, know this: God isn’t done yet. The messiest chapters of your life aren’t the final word. Trust Him to bring purpose out of the pain and beauty from the brokenness. Hold on to hope, because He’s still writing your story, and His work is always good.

Prayer:
God, thank You for working all things together for my good. Help me to trust Your process, even when I don’t understand it. Amen.
