How does the concept of a sovereign God provide comfort in suffering?

Answered in 1 source

The sovereignty of God assures believers that their suffering has purpose and is under His control.

The comfort derived from understanding God's sovereignty lies in the belief that He is in control over all circumstances, including suffering. In Psalm 7, David expresses his anguish but simultaneously affirms his trust in God's sovereign will to bring justice. This perspective encourages believers to recognize that their circumstances, however painful, are not random but woven into God's overall plan for their lives. Knowing that God is sovereign offers peace amid chaos because it assures us that nothing escapes His providential care, ultimately working all things for His glory and our good.
