How do we know God's grace is sufficient in times of suffering?

The sufficiency of God's grace in times of suffering is established through both Scripture and personal experience. The apostle Paul confirms in 2 Corinthians 12:9 that God's grace is sufficient for us, especially in our weakness. This grace manifests as the comfort of the Holy Spirit who walks alongside us, reminding believers that we do not endure our trials alone.

In the context of grief, the author's reflection draws a parallel between experiencing loss and the realization of God's unwavering presence. Just as believers in the Old Testament relied on God's grace, we also have assurance that His grace sustains us. The community of faith provides an avenue for sharing burdens, reflecting the biblical call to bear one another's burdens (Galatians 6:2). Hence, we can trust that even our deepest sorrows are held within God’s purpose, and His grace transforms our grief into joy as we lean on Him.
