And we know what? And we know that all things work together for good to them that love God, to them who are
called according to his purpose. Romans 8:28
Evidently, we are suppose to 'know' that all things work together for our good ... all things.
So, do we 'know'? Do we really know?
It is to our advantage to look for silver lining, to not give Satan so much credit, to faithfully watch for God to transform a negative situation into something good. And, when we watch for Him, most of time, we come to 'know' His purpose.
Therefore, perhaps, before we can know God has it covered, we have to see Him working and, before we can see Him, we first need to be watching.
By whatever name we call it; fear, worry, and anxiety does not come from God.
While we can not always control fact that spiritual warfare hits us like a 2x4, we can request God's help in giving Him honor, in even our thoughts and emotions (in spite of circumstance), by asking Him to remove our negative feelings.
And, that is easier to do once we realize, no matter how we feel, it is only a feeling. God is still on His throne. So, it can not be true about who God is.
But, beyond that, we can also take personal responsibility for our part. We opened door for Satan to attack our emotions, not him or anyone else. It originated moment we believed a lie.
How many ways do we call God a liar ... He can't, He won't, or that nothing good can ever happen to us?
If nothing is too hard for God, then why do we believe our problem is? When we can't seem to find our rightful place with God, do we blame Him? Or, do we believe what Jesus said? Once we 'know' truth, it will set us free. John 8:32.
Perhaps we beg and plead, or command and demand, for what is already rightfully ours; when we could be moving mountains, if only we didn't place more than a grain of faith in our part.
