What does the Bible say about trusting God in trials?
Answered in 3 sources
The Bible teaches that we should not trust in ourselves but in God, who raises the dead, especially during trials (2 Corinthians 1:8-9).
In 2 Corinthians 1:8-9, Paul shares that trials serve as a means for God to teach us not to rely on our strength but to trust in Him. Paul acknowledges his own affliction and despair, emphasizing that the purpose of suffering is to bring us to a point where we recognize our utter dependence on God. The trials we face are orchestrated by God to prove our need for Him and guide us to put our faith solely in Christ, who is our ultimate source of strength and salvation.
