How do we know God is sovereign over our pain?

The sovereignty of God encompasses everything that occurs in our lives, including our tribulations. As seen in Isaiah 45:7, God declares, 'I kill and I make alive, I wound and I heal.' This verse underscores that nothing happens outside of God's absolute predestination. Even our wounds and suffering are under His authority and serve a purpose in His grand design. Recognizing this sovereignty allows us to trust in God even amidst our struggles, knowing He is working all things together for good according to His purposes.
