Rom 8:28 (BBE) And we are conscious that all things are working together for good to those who have love for God, and have been marked out by his purpose.

The word conscious means to be aware of or to perceive. So often we are more conscious or aware of what our circumstances or emotions are telling us rather than being aware of what God's Word says. Am I aware of His presence and promises to me which declare that all things - not some things- are working together for good? We cannot believe in a theology which explains away difficult or hard times by saying its Gods will. Our Father is not in the testing, trying or tempting business. He is the one who is working things out for our good and His promises to us are true. He is a help in a time of need and is a Deliverer and Protector. Be aware of His goodness in your life and trust His word that all things are working for your good
