If bad things happen, you can always trust God's good purpose. That's because God is always good. He is good to all, especially to those who know him as our Father. So, the child of God can praise Him on the bad days, knowing that God's purpose is working all things together for good.
Believe God's purpose is working in your life for good in everything. That doesn't mean that you are exempt from suffering and trials. It does mean that God is working through all of it for your good. "And we know that 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, NLT). So, do you love God? If so, you can be sure that God's purpose in your life is good.
If bad things happen to you as God's child, never doubt he is working for your good. That means we never blame God for evil, though the forces of evil in this world are real. One day God will completely destroy evil. Until then, God has a good purpose for everything in our lives. Rest assured, that purpose is working for your good.
In the dark night of the soul, you can believe that the sun still shines, and that it shall break through your darkness with victory. Walking through the darkness can cause you to grow weary, but hope says a new day is coming. Look for the morning star. You shall see a new day, when God's good purpose will prevail in your life. If bad things happen, God's purpose for you is always good.
