Romans 8:28-30 NRSVue
28We know that all things work together for good for those who love God, who are called according to his purpose. 29For those whom he foreknew he also predestined to be conformed to the image of his Son, in order that he might be the firstborn within a large family., 30And those whom he predestined he also called, and those whom he called he also justified, and those whom he justified he also glorified.

Further reflection
God calls me into cooperation. I consider the dignity and honour that I am given and ask that I may act in a way that shows my appreciation of God-working-with-me.
God's purpose is not always evident to me. I pray for trust and patience and for the ability to persevere.
I take time to think of how God has turned things to my good in the past, giving thanks for blessings, letting go of the plans that I had for myself.
