I prefer to look at life as a challenge. If everything was gotten so easily and things ran smooth every minute I'd honestly get bored. Life's challenges may knock us down a bit but they also teach us how to get up and brush ourselves off and over come them. Without them, we couldn't grow.

All the difficulties, misfortunes and problems in life make us grow spiritually. It is like going to a school where we go to learn lessons. We have to carry weighs before our muscles get stronger, right? That is life! Tough, but necessary to make us strong (eternally).
Peace!

The purpose of earth life is to grow and develop and help others do the same. Challenges make this possible.

How many times have you learned, and grown, when you have had it easy and all was happy and light. The answer is probably close to none.
The truth is- all the growth and learning we do is done when times are rough. Then, we can truly find out what we are made of.

God uses problems in our lives to test us and to help us learn from our mistakes.
“Now no chastening seems to be joyful for the present, but painful; nevertheless, afterward it yields the peaceable fruit of righteousness to those who have been trained by it” Heb. 12:11
Sometimes God does not run to our rescue because He’s told us in the Bible what we should be doing about our suffering or affliction. Instead of crying out to God, sometimes we should be studying the Scriptures to find God’s will for our lives.
When we are tempted, we should study 1Corinthians 10:13 to find God’s “way of escape.”
Finally, God does not expect us to live from “miracle to miracle” but from “faith to faith” (Romans 1:17)
When people were following Jesus looking for a miracle, He rebuked them (John 6:26). We should look daily to Jesus, and not look for daily miraculous deliverance from suffering.
God Bless you.

Because sin is in the world and in our lives. We struggle with knowing the truth and finding our way through life. We are tempted to sin, which brings heartache to ourselves and others, it can also travel through generations as curses. But knowing Jesus makes it so much easier, even through the hard times, because He puts within us a hope that never dies.
