How do we know that God is sovereign over our trials?

Answered in 4 sources

God’s sovereignty over our trials is evident through Scripture, which assures us that suffering is a part of God’s plan to refine and strengthen His people.

The concept of God's sovereignty in trials is deeply rooted in the tradition of the Church and scriptural teachings. In Psalm 44, the believers express their struggles while asserting their loyalty to God, affirming their unwavering confidence even amid distress. The trials faced are understood as part of God’s discipline, which corrects pride and leads believers to deeper dependence on Him. Furthermore, scripture consistently portrays suffering as a means through which God purifies His people, preparing them for His kingdom, as stated in Acts 14:22, where it teaches that we must enter the kingdom of God through many tribulations.
