There are times in life when we need to go through different hardships to grow closer to God and see how strong our faith in God truely is. Just because we go through one hardship doesn't mean another one won't come at some point. I am dealing with something right now that seems so incrediblly hard. I know what could harder than beating cancer? I mean nothing seems that hard, but there are things that are hard to deal with. Just because I went through cancer and came out on the other end healthy doesn't mean I will be able to be immune to pain and hardships. And I think there are people out there who think that when they deal with some sort of hardship they won't deal with something so hard again. Or when they go through a hardship like divorce or the lose of a loved one, they let it affect their future with people who love them dearly.
Sometimes we will never know what goes through another person's mind so why should we try to figure out what is in God's mind when we deal with the hardships in life? Why do we try to predict what God will do and when he will do it? When we try to do that we will surely fail in anything we set to do when we try to predict what would happen. Many times we need to go through the motions and deal with everything one day at a time. We need to have fair in Christ and believe that no matter what happens he will be there to see us through the problems we face each and every day. When we sit there and try to think of things that would be hard to deal with it's only inevitable that we will start actually looking for them in our lives and then we become paranoid and like I said destroys ourselves. It destroys the relationships around us and in turn begins to eat away at our relationship with God.
The point of a hardship isn't to sit there and ponder about then and try to figure out what they will be, when they will happen, and whether or not we will be able to deal with them. We would slowly lose our faith and trust in God. That is never what we need or should do. It would damage our relationship with Christ. We need to do everything we can to build on it instead of harm it.

Hello!
I am sorry to hear that there is something hard that you are going through! I just wanted you to know that I will be praying for you and I wanted to encourage you to bring it to God! He Loves You and is hurting with you. Nobody can provide comfort like our Heavenly Father. Like you said we cannot predict what God will do but I do know that lots of prayer and worship helps. We just need to surrender to God's will and He will take care of us!
