How do we know God is in control during hardships?

In the face of hardships, we can trust that God is in control and that these challenges are part of His sovereign plan for our lives. Romans 8:28 affirms this by stating, 'We know that all things work together for good to them that love God.' This means that the trials we face are not random but specifically allowed by God to lead us closer to Him and teach us about our reliance on His grace. During difficult times, we ought to remember that God uses our struggles to shape our faith and reveal His goodness.
