There is an old song, and the lyrics say, "God is good, all the time. All the time, God is good." I remember liking that song, even though I haven't heard it in a while. (by Paul Overstreet) But there is so much truth in it. I think of the "even whens..." often too.
God is good, even when... the test results come back with cancer.
God is good, even when... I've had a hard day.
God is good, even when... my kids misbehave or don't listen to me.

God is good, even when... I'm lonely, tired, bored, or sad...

God is good, even when... my husband won't pay attention to me.
God is good, even when... a family member dies suddenly.
God is good, even when... my kids do poorly in school.
God is good, even when... my kids don't follow Christ... (but you can pray for them!)
God is good, even when... I don't understand His ways.
God is good, even when... my husband loses his job. (Another reason to pray!)
God is good, even when... I'm estranged from a family member. (Keep praying!)
God is good, even when... I don't have money to buy groceries, or shoes, or ___________.
God is good, even when... I don't get to take an expensive trip.
God is good, even when... I don't have a husband, spouse or friend. (He is ALWAYS with you!)

What a good & great God we serve!
Psalm 145:3-9
Great is the Lord and most worthy of praise;
his greatness no one can fathom.
One generation commends your works to another;
they tell of your mighty acts.
They speak of the glorious splendor of your majesty—
and I will meditate on your wonderful works.
They tell of the power of your awesome works—
and I will proclaim your great deeds.
They celebrate your abundant goodness
and joyfully sing of your righteousness.
The Lord is gracious and compassionate,
slow to anger and rich in love.
The Lord is good to all;
he has compassion on all he has made.
Micah 6:8
He has shown you, O mortal, what is good. And what does the Lord require of you? To act justly and to love mercy and to walk humbly with your God.
Luke 18:19
“Why do you call me good?” Jesus answered. “No one is good—except God alone.
