Romans 8:28

What sorts of things get you down during the season?  Bad performances during games?  Ugly practices?  Long road trips?  Strained relationships on the team?  Challenges in classes?  Whatever the circumstance, we have a great promise related to God's will and His provision.

In Paul's letter to his friends in Rome at chapter 8 and verse 28, he tells them, "And we know that in all things God works for the good of those who love Him, who have been called according to his purpose."  According to Paul, a guy who had decades of difficult days, God's at work in the whole process of our lives.

It says that He's at work in all things... good things, bad things, smart things, stupid things, fun things, painful things... all things.  God is at work in all these things to bring about good for you.  Even in the worst, most stupid and dreadfully painful situations of life, God is at work to bring good to you.

Whether it's a losing streak, a lost friendship, a broken family, a failing grade or whatever; God's promise to you is the same.  He's seeking your good every day, all day.  Rest in that promise today and trust Him as you compete in confidence and security.
