Does everything work together for good?

I heard that last week.  Just keep trying and things will get better.  Just do good and it will come back to you.  All things work together for good is even a quote from the Bible.  Just missing a bit.

God causes everything to work together for the good of those who love God and are called according to his purpose for them.  Romans 8:28

The verses before this talk about not even knowing what to pray.  How the Holy Spirit intercedes for us in prayer in the presence of God.  The Holy Spirit prays that we would be in harmony with God's own will.  God will help me live in harmony with his will for my life.  I want that.  

God is sovereign.  He rules over everything.  He knows what is going on around me.  He has a plan that is unstoppable.  

My part is to choose to love and trust him.  If I ignore God and live to please myself, it does not work.  In an imperfect way I will pursue God and live my life to please him.  Looking to see God show up and bring glory to himself in my life.  It is not about me.  All about him.  

All for Jesus,
