How do we know that God is sovereign over suffering?

Answered in 2 sources

The sovereignty of God over suffering is evident as He allowed Job's trials to unfold while still asserting His ultimate control and purpose.

Job's suffering was not random but orchestrated by God for a greater purpose. In Job 1:12, we see God granting Satan permission to test Job, illustrating that while we experience suffering, God remains sovereign and has a purpose behind it. This aligns with the Biblical teaching that God uses trials to refine and strengthen our faith (1 Peter 1:6-7). By allowing Job to suffer, God not only proved Job's faithfulness but also revealed the depth of divine grace that sustains His people even in the darkest times.
