Romans 8:28 (AMP)

We are assured and know that (God being a partner in their labor) all things work together and are (fitting into a plan) for good to and for those who love God and are called according to (His) design and purpose.

NLT:  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.

Job 42:1-3

Then Job replied to the Lord:  “I know that you can do all things; no plan of yours can be thwarted.  You asked, ‘Who is this that obscures my counsel without knowledge?’  Surely I spoke of things I did not understand, things too wonderful for me to know.”

NLT:  Then Job replied to the Lord:  “I know that you can do anything, and no one can stop you.  You asked, ‘Who is this that questions my wisdom with such ignorance?’  It is I—and I was talking about things I knew nothing about, things far too wonderful for me.”

1 Peter 5:7

Cast all your anxiety on him because he cares for you.

NTL:  Give all your worries and cares to God, for he cares about you.

2 Corinthians 5:7

We live by faith, not by sight.

NLT:  For we live by believing and not by seeing.
