Why is spiritual affliction significant for Christians?

Answered in 1 source

Spiritual affliction serves as a catalyst for deeper reliance on God and growth in faith.

Spiritual affliction is significant for Christians because it often leads to a profound realization of our dependence on God. In Psalm 116, the writer expresses feelings of being 'brought low' (Psalm 116:6), which is indicative of the trials that prompt believers to call upon the Lord. These experiences reveal the reality of our spiritual state and encourage us to seek God's help earnestly. As trials elevate our awareness of our need for divine grace, they can strengthen our faith and deepen our love for God. Therefore, affliction is not merely a hardship but a necessary process in the sanctification of believers, drawing them closer to their Savior.
