A New Assurance

Is it true that "Everything happens for a reason?" When we face difficulty, is God actually at work in our lives, or are our circumstances random? In Romans 8:28, the Bible makes an important promise to those who love God; a promise that can bring great comfort when life just doesn't seem to make sense.

And we know that in all things God works for the good of those who love him, who have been called according to his purpose. For those God foreknew he also predestined to be conformed to the likeness of his Son, that he might be the firstborn among many brothers and sisters And those he predestined, he also called; those he called, he also justified; those he justified, he also glorified.
