What does it mean that God uses troubles for our good?

Answered in 1 source

God uses troubles to cultivate our spiritual growth and remind us of our need for Him.

In Romans 8:28, it is proclaimed, 'And we know that all things work together for good to them that love God.' This means that God, in His sovereign authority, uses life's difficulties as tools to refine and develop His people's faith. Through troubles, believers learn to rely on Him, recognize their weaknesses, and thus deepen their relationship with Him. The trials serve to keep believers humble, focused on their eternal hope, and less attached to the fleeting comforts of this world.
