It'll all be OK

I guess you've heard of one of the consolations of faith being quoted as Romans 8:28 (God causes all things to work together for good).

But, maybe you're not aware of the full information on this. Paul writes (Roms 8:28-30): 
And we know that God causes all things to work together for good to those who love God, to those who are called according to His purpose. For those whom He foreknew, He also predestined to become conformed to the image of His Son, so that He would be the firstborn among many brethren; and these whom He predestined, He also called; and these whom He called, He also justified; and these whom He justified, He also glorified.
The end God has in mind is our eternal state with God in the new creation of free fellowship with him, living in his presence.

It is not about things working out on this Earth.

Nor is it about God manipulating events for us.

It is God weaving into his objective the contingent uncertainties of a fallen and distorted world (out of which he is saving us)  that operates according to the 'prince of the power of the air'. No matter how bad others want to make things, God will weave them into his cloth, not theirs. During which time, we persevere in prayer for courage, boldness, strength and wisdom as we await the 'eternal weight of glory (2 Corinthians 4:17)
