Whoever said that all would be perfect and well... but I am learning that "though He may slay me, yet will I trust Him!"

Of course not. That's the point of the book of Job. We can't always know why our suffering happens. That's why faith and trust in God are so important.
God is still good, even when bad things happen. If we submit ourselves to Him in crisis, He can bring about good from even the worst of events. It's not that the bad things _become_ good, but that He can bring about "beauty from ashes." His power and glory are shown through His ability to turn the tragedies in our lives into sources of strength for us.
It ultimately shows His triumph over Satan in that He can bring about good from the worst Satan can do to us.
The rain falls on the just and the unjust as Proverbs says. God is still in control and He is still loving. Holding to Him, rather than giving up on Him when life gets tough is part of what helps us grow and mature and it's what makes us useful in our service to others who are suffering.

We should accept anything and everything that God gives us and allows us to be subjected to. When we accept God's blessings, we often forget to thank Him for them and we tend to take Him for granted, but boy one will sure hear us complain when God allows us to suffer trials. All of a sudden, we will remember the name of the Lord and will cry out to Him and then complain that He is doing nothing to help us. Never mind the fact that when He blesses us, we don't even bother to say "thanks" half the time. God allows us to endure the hard times often to teach us something we need to learn. He also allows us to suffer in order to draw us closer to Him. Sometimes the only way we will get close to God is when we have no choice because He is our only hope. God doesn't like it when He has to allow this "last resort" option to happen, but if that's the only way to get our attention, He will often use it. Finally, many times the struggles, trials and painful experiences in our lives can be used for good to help someone else when they are struggling or going through a difficult time. People will often refuse to listen to a sermon or to someone who tells them what the Bible says about such and such, but will gladly listen to someone who has "been there, done that" in a particular situation because they have the experience to validate what they are saying. We often benefit from the wisdom of someone's words who has been through a situation similar to our own because they have survived it and know what it's like to come through it.

You don't have much choice. The best laid plans often go awry,and you have to live and accept what comes to pass. The conflict between our will and the way we want it to be, vs the big will is a very common source of stress today.

No, he created us. Everything that exists is his in reality, and he can do whatever he wants. Useless for anyone to shake his fist in God's face over it, because it will not change anything God decides to do.

Well its probably not the best idea to turn away from God whatever he gives us.
Why does he give us bad?
