What does the Bible say about suffering and sovereignty?

Answered in 1 source

The Bible teaches that God is sovereign over all circumstances, including suffering, which He uses for our good and His glory.

Scripture is clear that God is in control of all things, including our suffering. In Philippians 1:19-24, Paul expresses his confidence in God's sovereignty, stating that his circumstances will turn out for his deliverance through the prayers of the saints and the help of the Spirit of Jesus Christ. This means that even in suffering, God works for our good, shaping us and bringing Himself glory through our trials. Paul understood that his imprisonment was part of God's sovereign plan, and he rejoiced because he knew that even in suffering, God was in control and would use it for His purposes. For Paul, understanding God’s sovereignty was vital to his endurance and joy during hardship.
