Context
Paul writes in the middle of a passage about suffering, groaning and the Spirit's help in prayer (8:18-27). God works in all things for the good of those who love him, whose purpose is to make them like his Son (8:29).
Read it in its setting. It does not say that everything that happens is good, nor that things will turn out as we hope; it speaks of God's purpose for his people through suffering.
