Why are the people who are God fearing and loving to even their worst enemies always suffer? Why? Why ? Why?

Also keep in mind that God chastises his own. A pastor once put it to me like this: If the neighbor's child does something wrong, you don't treat them the same way as you do your own child. So, you may see others around you who are seeming to get away with all kinds of evil and sin but that's because they are not a child of God and their judgement will be eternal.
That does not mean that human suffering is an indication that the person is a sinner. That is just one reason. Another is that the devil does not like the children of God. He will do things to us to try to make us turn away from God.
Yet another reason these things happen is God testing us as he did Abraham. Going through hardship is a true test of our faith. Yes, God knows what the outcome will be, but when you go through a terrible hardship in life and give up control to the Lord and come out of it okay on the other side, there is nothing more faith affirming.
What I've discovered, though, is that if you just turn it all over to God and have faith that it is part of his plan and you will be taken care of, then the internal stress is less. It doesn't go away, but it makes dealing with the situation easier.

Everyone suffers-it's the nature of life. Why? Because we all labour under the same delusion that this material charade has meaning. Attach no meaning to wordly things and the suffering disappears.

once when i was having a very hard time with my life an Imam (Muslim religious leader) told me that all the people that God loves the most suffer the most in this life. This life is for testing. For the people that God favors, he is saving their rewards for them in heaven. Inshallah (God-willing) this advice will help you
peace be unto you

Some people think just because you have an disorder (mental, emotional) that this is a reflection upon your Faith, and belief. This is untrue.When we experience financial problems, we seek a financial counselor, if our car breaks down, we seek a mechanic.
God is the source of all wisdom, rest in the assurance that He will give all of us perfect guidance. His ways are higher than ours.

Because it's not this way. People who are God fearing and loving are happy people because they have no stress, no hate, no enemies. So don't worry, just be happy!

we don't.it wouldn't be worth the trouble if we were always suffering.In fact since I learned to trust God with my journey I've learned what suffering is and it's not following Gods word that brings me to suffer.

That is how their fate is decided by their God. Perhaps they will not suffer much after death and they will be put into heaven supposed to exixt ,
