How do we know God's providence is at work in trials?

Throughout Scripture, God's providence is revealed in how He orchestrates events, even in trials, to teach us profound lessons about trust and faith. In 2 Corinthians 1:8-9, Paul highlights how he and his companions experienced overwhelming trials to learn not to trust in themselves but in God, who raises the dead. Similarly, Isaiah 43:1-2 reassures us that even in the most distressing circumstances, God is present to deliver us. These passages reinforce the understanding that God’s providence controls our trials for a purpose, ultimately to draw us nearer to Him and help us rely solely on His grace and wisdom.
