How does God's sovereignty relate to suffering?

Answered in 1 source

God's sovereignty assures us that our sufferings are under His control and will ultimately work for our good.

In the context of suffering, the sovereignty of God is a source of profound comfort for believers. Romans 8:28 asserts that 'all things work together for good to them that love God, to them who are the called according to His purpose.' This means that even our trials and pain are part of God's divine plan and serve His purposes. While we may not understand how each circumstance contributes to our good, faith assures us that God's sovereign will governs all aspects of our lives, molding us into the likeness of Christ and ensuring our eventual glorification.
