How do we know God is merciful during trials?

In the face of trials, many believers find solace in God's mercy, which is highlighted throughout Scripture. David's plea to 'fall into the hand of the Lord' reflects a deep trust in God's character and mercy despite his failures. Hebrews 4:16 encourages believers to approach God’s throne of grace to find help in times of need. God's faithfulness assures believers that He will work all things for their good (Romans 8:28) and that His mercies are new every morning (Lamentations 3:22-23).
