God Works ALL Things for Good | But What Does 'Good' Actually Mean?
In this Back to the Bible Daily episode, Braden Pedersen explores Romans 8:28 — “And we know that for those who love God all things work together for good, for those who are called according to his purpose.” He clarifies common misunderstandings, explaining what Paul actually means by “all things,” “work together,” and the true “good” toward which God is working: our transformation into the likeness of Christ. Honest, pastoral, and comforting, this short devotional helps you hold grief and trust at the same time.
Read: Read Romans 8:28–29
Reflect: Ask: Which painful season in my life might God be using to shape me into Christlikeness? How does defining “good” as spiritual transformation change my expectations?
Respond: Prayer — Lord, help me trust You in this hardship; teach me what You want to form in me and give me patience to see Your work. Amen.
Reveal: Share Romans 8:28 with someone who’s hurting, listen to their story, and say, “I’m praying that God will use this to shape you into Christ’s likeness.” Offer to pray together.

A Prayer for the One Who Is Afraid of God’s Glory and Power - Your Daily Prayer - June 11
