How do afflictions draw us closer to God?

Answered in 1 source

Afflictions compel Christians to seek God earnestly, deepening their relationship with Him through reliance on His grace.

Afflictions can serve as catalysts for a greater dependence on God, as they often force us to confront our limitations and weaknesses. In times of distress, believers are driven to prayer and seek divine assistance, thus deepening their relationship with the Lord. For instance, as shown in the experiences of biblical figures, such as Job and David, hardships often lead to heartfelt cries for help, resulting in a renewed connection with God. The trials we face encourage spiritual growth, transforming our faith into a more vibrant and active reliance on God's promises.
