Why is faith important in our suffering?

Faith is essential during suffering as it enables believers to trust in God's perfect plan, even when circumstances seem bleak. John 11:4 illustrates this when Jesus tells His disciples that Lazarus’s sickness is not ultimately for death but for the glory of God. This perspective requires faith, as struggled with understanding the situation; eventually, it provides comfort knowing that God uses our trials to display His glory. When we face suffering, our faith reorients our perspective, allowing us to see God’s sovereignty in our pain and reassuring us that every trial serves a purpose in His divine plan.
