The Lord is Good

The Lord is good, a strength and stronghold in the day of trouble, He knows (He recognizes, cares for, and understands fully) those who take refuge and trust in Him.

Nahum 1:7, Amplified

All throughout scripture, we find it written, "The Lord is good." Even when what you're going through doesn't feel good, when the report doesn't sound good, and the situation doesn't look good, God remains good. To cease to be good would go against His nature and character. Just as God is love, God is good, and if you trust Him, I mean really trust Him; you will see Him work all things together for your good because you love Him and are called according to His purpose (see Romans 8:28).  

Say from your heart, "Just as my God is love, He is good! No matter how I feel today, no matter how it looks, and no matter how it sounds, I choose to trust in the goodness of my Father. I trust that He is working all things according to His divine purpose and plan. No matter what I am experiencing.
