How do we know that God's grace is sufficient in our trials?

Answered in 2 sources

God's grace is sufficient as He promises to provide strength during our weaknesses, as affirmed in 2 Corinthians 12:9.

In the context of Paul's thorn in the flesh, the Lord’s response to Paul's repeated requests for relief was, 'My grace is sufficient for you, for my power is made perfect in weakness' (2 Corinthians 12:9). This assurance emphasizes that God’s grace is both enabling and sustaining, particularly in times of difficulty. The trials believers face are intentional and serve a greater purpose of drawing us nearer to God while keeping us humble.

Furthermore, the Lord showed Paul that the sufficiency of His grace would allow him to endure the persistent challenges of his thorn. This means that believers, when faced with their own trials, can rest assured that God's grace will sustain them. Ultimately, these experiences allow for a deeper reliance on Christ, strengthening our faith in His promises and provision.
