How do we know God's sovereignty in our suffering?

Throughout Scripture, God's sovereignty is clearly portrayed, especially in relation to suffering. Romans 8:28 states that all things work together for the good of those who love God and are called according to His purpose. This implies that even in suffering, God is working out His plans for our maturity and growth. In 2 Corinthians 1:5, Paul writes that as Christ suffered, His sufferings overflow to believers, reinforcing our connection to Him. Moreover, the understanding of God's sovereign plan provides comfort that our trials, while painful, serve a greater purpose in conforming us to the image of Christ (Romans 8:29).
