If you believe in God, then you should accept the fact that our lives are in His hands (figuratively speaking) and that He is All Wise and what we cannot comprehend is that everything that happens in our lives happens for a reason.
If we are sick we remember God and ask for help. But when we are in good health we don't remember God to thank Him for our good health and our situation in life.
Isn't this a bit ungrateful?
Likewise, God sends events in our lives, whether good or bad, to test us and see how we react so that we may redeem ourselves and raise ourselves as good servants of God. Ironically though, this is when most of us forget our place and forget the many, many favours our Lord has bestowed upon us.
Our lives should be 50% Patience and 50% Gratitude.
