if you think us non believer have it easy then you are really not in touch with reality. something you go through is the same thing a non believer goes through as well. you are not the only one in this world in that situation. the best you can do is talk to other people thats been in your situation and select what you feel will work for you

Struggle means the journey to growth. Do you really think God would want weak children? He believes in His children. But that doesn't mean that servants can't learn from non-servants. Servants serve and serve, and eventually wonder why they are not getting anything back. They become frusterated and angry. Non-servants do not serve, and do not expect anything back, and become emotionally empty. But that is where the lesson is. Be a servant and a non-servant together as one. Do not expect anything back. If you want to serve, do it in a way that you love doing in the first place. Just do it just for the sake of your own joy. Then with that, you just share. With whomever, either it be a neighbor or the Father. Then you have found the joy in serving. You will realize that is was just something you can do effortlessly. Then you get to the point of experiencing God's rewards. I asure you... When you do not expect anything, you will be suprised how much rewards the Father gives. You will fully feel his love through these suprises. Doing this, life is simple and full, not one sided. I hope this answers your question. Cheers!

Our momentary afflictions work in us a far greater weight of eternal glory (2 Corinthians 4:17). Every trial God brings us through brings us closer to Him, and works more of His character in us. As Christians, we are destined to eternal glory with Him, the only time we can know the fellowship of His sufferings (Philippians 3:10) is while we are here on earth. Therefore, we count it joy when we go through trials (James 1:2) as they teach us to become more like our Savior!
God suffers when you suffer, He weeps when you weep, He is pained when you have pain. But He still allows the suffering to happen so you will grow and know Him more. Embrace the suffering, knowing that if we remain faithful, we will always be victorious in the end!

Says who? Everybody has problems.
Having the Lord Jesus Christ in your life sets you free!
Since I became a Christian, My struggles have not changed, but I've never felt alone. I've always felt like God has been there for me. God has provided comfort for me, a wonderful supportive family and a great relationship with him through prayer! I have happy to serve the Lord.

Everyone faces alot in life whether they be believers or non-believers. You can't say that non believers live free and happy lives. Come on now, human suffering can't be attributed to believing one thing or not, and you know that.

Yeehaaa! I believe in Life before Death.
I'm free from worrying about all the silly little rules your god imposes on you!
(and we're all going to end up in the same place anyway, so why are you stressing sooooo much? Relax and enjoy life)

We get tested. If we want imortal life, we will get marted, if need be. We trust God, and he loves us. He will watch over us =)
God walks with you through life, you will never be alone. And when you are troubled, he will carry you through your sorrows.
Religion gives you a perpous in life, in 9 days I'm getting my Confirmation, yay! My own choice.

Because this world is a sinful place. We were warned in the Bible that it would hate and persecute us. It hated an persecuted Jesus so we follow in His footsteps. We are to look for our reward not in this world but in the next.

Because the ones who follow satan are going to enjoy life here on earth, which is only for a short period of time,until God sends His wrath upon them and satan in the very end, then they will pay for thier sinful lifestyle for all eterntiy in the firey lake of hell with satan. It will be suffrering like they never dreamed possible.
Christians who follow the Lord suffer because they are in a constant battle against good and evil. Satan wants them to grow weak in their faith so he can get them back onto his side.
Our suffering only strengthens our faith in God and draws us closer to Him every passing day. We are to look past what we see in front of us, and reach for the ulitimate goal, which is life in heaven with our Lord for all eternity. We will be rewarded for all we have gone through on earth, when we get to heaven, and it wil be well worth it!!
Christ suffered a horrible death for us on the cross, paying a debt He didn't owe so our sins can be forgiven just for the asking, instead of us slaughtering a lamb every year to cover the sins of our families for the rest of our lives, in order for us to get to heaven when we die. So what's a little suffering that we do in life, compaired to the monumental suffering Jesus went through for us? With Jesus leading us in life, He will pave the way for us to get through the toughest of times and be stronger for it.
I'd wrather have an eternity of happiness with Jesus in heaven, then a short lifetime of fun here on earth that will end in eternal pain, torture that will never stop ever.For in hell they will continually hear the cries of pain and the smells of burning flesh that will never stop or ease up, and the loudest of screams and the greatest of agony will be that of your own.
