Genesis 37 - Joseph is sold into Egypt, presumed dead by Jacob. Jacob would perceive that "all these things are against me" (Gen.42:36). In reality, God was preparing for him a feast in the wilderness, a treasure only possible through a long incubation period of time. God was for him, so nothing could truly be against him.
Can we not trust the God who orchestrated Jacob's and Joseph's lives, to orchestrate ours also? If I am His, then He is for me, and He turns everything that would be against me into something that is for me (Rom.8:31). Trust God in the dark, when you cannot see His hand, when you do not understand. He will not let you go. He is using your trial to make something beautiful.
