I am going through a really tough time right now and its so easy to be mad at God right now even though I know i shouldnt be. I am mad...whether or not its right. But in answer to your question, even as mad as I get sometimes at life and God, its times like that, that I begin to remember that God gives us times like these to make us stronger and maybe...just maybe, they wont last forever and even if they do...the thing you have to remember is that when we suffer, we suffer for christ and we are following in his footsteps and he knows how we feel and understands when nobody else can.
