How does God use tribulation in our lives?

Answered in 1 source

God uses tribulation to deepen our reliance on Him and to equip us to offer comfort to others (2 Corinthians 1:4).

God's use of tribulation in our lives serves multiple purposes. First, it fosters a closer relationship with Him, as we often find ourselves more dependent on His grace during difficult times. Paul articulates that the pressures and sufferings we encounter are designed to lead us toward greater reliance on God’s comfort and strength. Additionally, tribulations prepare us to understand and empathize with others in their difficulties, allowing us to share the comfort we have received from God (2 Corinthians 1:4). Ultimately, this refining process shapes our character and increases our capacity for compassion and support for fellow believers.
