How do we know God is in control of our problems?

Believers can be confident in God's sovereignty over their circumstances, as Scripture states that He works all things according to His purpose (Ephesians 1:11). This providence means that even the trials and challenges we face are ordained by God to develop our character and draw us nearer to Him. Recognizing that the Lord not only permits these trials but orchestrates them for our growth allows Christians to cast their cares upon Him (1 Peter 5:7) in trust, knowing His plans are ultimately for their good.
