How does God use our trials to bring us to Christ?

Answered in 1 source

God uses trials to reveal our weaknesses and direct us back to reliance on Christ.

In the example from Judges 6, God allowed the Midianites to oppress Israel to bring them to a point of desperation where they cried out for deliverance. Similarly, God uses adversities in our lives to strip away our self-confidence and direct our attention toward Christ. These trials serve to remind us that we cannot save ourselves and must continually look to Christ for help and salvation. By bringing us low, He prepares our hearts to receive the message of the gospel, emphasizing that our strength lies solely in Him.
