The Bible says that it rains on the just and the unjust. Jesus said that in this life there will be trouble. All of us have difficult times in life. Everyone knows pain and suffering in one form or another. In Genesis chapter 3 God said this would happen if mankind sinned. We did... and do... and bad things happen as a result. Some of those bad things are a result of just living in a world that has been corrupted. Others happen as a direct result of our own mistakes and stupid rebellion. Everyone has a hard life in one way or another. How we respond to those hard times is really one of the most important questions of life. We can turn to God or try to make it on our own. I find that even the worst of times go better for those who trust God.

No God doesn't. We have to remember that God intented for humans to live forever in a wonderful paradise earth. In the book of Genesis in the bible it tells what his original intent was . As a result of SIN from our first parents Adam and Eve. We inherited sin because they disobeyed God and allowed Satan to use them to do so. So therefore sin entered into us and into the world. It cause bad results and men used evil and works of the Devil to make this world a bad place.
The area a person live in and their culture for that area whereas it's United States or Iraq affects how hard their life is.Not God!! put them their purposely. Economic situations, money, culture, beliefs, health causes us prolems. Satan is behind all these things. We can't choose our parents or where we live or ho we do it before we are born can we?
So we can't blame God for that.We blame Satan the devil and how he use man to dictate or set laws and standards for people in a country on how THEY base it should be ran and not how GOD says so. That's why it is good to read the bible and pray that you let God direct and not Satan and man. Because if you choose man....well you see how this world is.
So as I said earlier God wanted everyone to have a onderful life in the begining.Hope it helped.

The Bible tells us that God chastens (disciplines) those He loves.
Therefore, when you go through trials (trouble) count it all joy, because you know God loves you and He is preparing you for Him.
I look at the very rich without God in sadness. God said He lets it rain on the just and the unjust the same. Those with the easy life - well, this earthly life may be the only good they will ever see. God is just being good to them, but he is preparing you for greater things with Him.

If it were not for satan's constant attacks on man, the world would be a pleasant place. But as long as some foolish people continue to believe satan's lies (i.e. God does not exist, etc.) he will run around making people miserable so that the foolish will blame God. Proverbs 1:22-23 YBIC

God gives you free will, or the freedom of choice. The decisions you make in life determine how hard, or easy life will be.

This is a sticky one. Part of life and living in this world means we all have choices and consequences for making those choices. We also can suffer for our choices or from others that have made choices or just plain suffer for living and being part of this world. It is supposed to be this way. We can not know happiness without knowing sorrow. We can not know joy without knowing pain. We have to have the freedom of choice in order to choose to love God, we can't be forced to believe in him or love him, it has to be our choice or there would be no use for faith.
So, no, God does not GIVE someone hardship. It is a natural consequence of having freedom to choose. If you make bad choices, you will suffer the consequences. That is how you learn. Same with good choices. Sometimes you have no control or choice in the matter, but God is merciful and just and when we all die, it will be make right.
That is why you can not blame God for your misfortunes. Remember, suffering or trials also make you stronger and help you to learn and grow. And yes, he can support you in those hard times. We will still have the hard times as we all should, but he can send comfort and wisdom to help get you through.

Well i believe the harder your life is the more god has blessed you. Meaning you pay for all the wrongs you did through life so u wudnt face even worst punishments up there. And plus if u endure it , it would definitely get better. You never suffer forever on earth but you could sufer forever up there when u expire. So take it as a blessing if u suffer now. Gods just saving u from ur sins.!!

I love the question LOL
Some people would say that is the case......
Life is always an up hill struggle and when you think you have got to the top...it's a hard downward spiral just to start again from the begining.
Good luck

Since I believe we choose our destiny before birth, no he does not choose who is going to suffer and who is not...we make that decision according to our free will....I know it sounds a little whack but, I believe in reincarnation, and in every lifetime, we are given an opportunity to better ourselves, and to make amends, so that we can reach a higher level of spirituality ,and one day, no longer need to reincarnate.... easily said hard to do, as free will gets in the way.... hope this didn't confuse you much.
