Many of us have gone through different trials and tribulations throughout life and many times those things shape who we are and strengthen our faith in God. Other times our past experiences can destroy our future relationships. Too often we let the past affect how we react to situations we are dealing with now. Sometimes that is helpful because we all learn from past experiences, but other times you cannot base a situation on what happened in the past. You can learn how to deal with it through faith and trust in God, but when you treat every situation the same, the result will always be the same.
God gives us hardships and experiences to teach us things. And I think sometimes we don't really pay attention to what God could be teaching us, which is probably why we treat many situations the same when they are not. Sometimes we can handle them the same when the way of handling hardships is putting our trust and faith in God and pray about the things we deal with on a daily basis. Sometimes we let those hardship come in the way of not only our relationships with each other, but our relationships with God.
A lot of the time we think we can handle the hardships on our own and not turn to Him for help or even see His love as being powerful enough to see us through it all. When we foresee or try to foresee what will happen we forget that God's hand is in everything.
