What does the Bible say about God's sovereignty in hardship?

Scripture emphasizes that God is sovereign over all circumstances, including times of distress and suffering. In Luke 8, we see Jairus, a desperate father, approach Jesus in need of healing for his daughter. Instead of rushing to help, Jesus stops to address a woman in need, leading to the heartbreaking news that Jairus' daughter has died. This narrative illustrates that God's timing and purposes may not align with our immediate desires, but He still accomplishes His will in His perfect timing. Romans 8:28 reassures us that all things work together for good for those who love God and are called according to His purpose.
