And unto Adam he said, Because thou hast hearkened unto the voice of thy wife, and hast eaten of the tree, of which I commanded thee, saying, Thou shalt not eat of it: cursed is the ground for thy sake; in sorrow shalt thou eat of it all the days of thy life; Thorns also and thistles shall it bring forth to thee; and thou shalt eat the herb of the field; In the sweat of thy face shalt thou eat bread, till thou return unto the ground; for out of it wast thou taken: for dust thou art, and unto dust shalt thou return. Genesis 3:17-19
That's the bad news. The good news is that when you put your faith in Jesus you get spiritual strength and supernatural provision to see you through the trials that must come with our physical lives in this fallen world.
"Not that I am speaking of being in need, for I have learned in whatever situation I am to be content. I know how to be brought low, and I know how to abound. In any and every circumstance, I have learned the secret of facing plenty and hunger, abundance and need. I can do all things through him (Jesus) who strengthens me. Philippians 4:11-13

Because life is a test, and all tests are hard. Better to think of answering questions as much as you can better than questioning the difficulty of the exam! First case you will at least grantee doing your best, later case you will grantee time waste and sure fail!
What is the use of the afterlife if this life is the best we can get?

Hard times teach us endurance.
We gain strength.
We learn to accomplish more than we ever thought we were capable of doing.
We learn compassion for other people who are going through hard times.
Everybody goes through hard times at some point, so if nothing else they teach us to be understanding of the challenges of others.
Try to get your thoughts away from your own problems and focus on others. You will be amazed at what this will do for your outlook.
And remember that no matter how rough times get, you are never alone. God is always with you and he loves you! There is absolutely nothing that you can’t take to Him in prayer.

You make life hard yourself. If you choose life can be simple. This of course requires a lack of pursuit of the material world. Wants and needs create problems for us. If you only pursue what you need for the moment and don't crave that which is hard to achieve and ultimately bad for you you will be fine.

If you remember that for the majority of people on this earth life is hard and they put up with it as they have no choice. see if you have a choice to change your life. If you find one your life will surely become easy

Life does not have to be hard. Sure God said that He would put thistles and thorns out in the world but that's just to prove us. He also said, that by the sweat of your brow will you eat your bread.
Have you ever read the 22nd Psalm. The LORD is my Shepard. That means that God is our protector. He maketh me to lie down in green pastures. This means that He will provide us with all we need to survive in this life. He leadeth me beside the still water. This is really special. He says that He will guide us as we walk by deep water. Still water are deep water. Read the rest for yourself. Its beautiful being in and under the protection of God.><>

We make it that way. We're always worrying about stuff. Stuff that usually takes care of itself with a small amount of attention or we worry too much about what other people will think of us if THIS happens or if THAT happens. Each day's evil is sufficient for itself? Isn't that the quote? We worry about a whole weeks worth at one sitting. I love that song "One Day AT A Time"

We live in a fallen world. This wasn't the intent when God created it. One day it will be restored to beauty and perfection. I hope you know Jesus...you'll want to be on the right side at judgment, which precedes the new earth. And I say that in a friendly way.

It is suppose to make us stronger. Why we need to be stronger is because life is hard!

Because we make it that way... Instead of having faith in what the lord can do and believing he will take care of us in every way We get in a hurry and try to do everything our self and we lose our faith in the lord..............
-----------Accept God into your heart and believe he will take care of all your problems step back let him take control and keep your faith in him strong
