Why is dependence on God important during difficult times?

Job's story exemplifies the importance of recognizing our helplessness and turning towards God. In times of trouble, believers often encounter their limitations, prompting a deeper reliance on God's strength rather than their own. Trials are instruments through which God teaches obedience and humility. This is especially depicted in Hebrews 5:8, highlighting how Jesus, despite being the Son of God, learned obedience through suffering, teaching us that our struggles can lead to spiritual maturity and a closer relationship with the Father.
