How do we know God's grace is sufficient during struggles?

Answered in 1 source

God's grace is sufficient as it is demonstrated in moments where we are brought to the end of ourselves and come to rely solely on Him.

The sufficiency of God's grace during struggles is rooted in our recognition of our weaknesses. As noted in 2 Corinthians 12:7-10, Paul learns that in his weakness, Christ’s power is made perfect. Jacob's struggle at Peniel exemplifies this concept, as he is brought to a place of helplessness, allowing God's grace to take precedence over his own abilities. This theme runs throughout Scripture, emphasizing that those who confront their limits and turn to God find His strength supporting and empowering them in profound ways. The experiences of trials serve to reinforce our reliance on Christ rather than our own strength, demonstrating the ample provision of grace in our lives.
