I don't know if other people do like me, to wonder when things go wrong, if I had not done well enough in life.
If we remember Job, we know the pains and sufferings made him curse his day, on top of the loss of his children, and being ridiculed.
Jesus was rejected by Israel, by his neighbours, even his brothers doubted him, and daily was persecuted, outcasted, suffering having nowhere to lay His head, and knowing the death of the cross was all Israel wanted to give to Jesus.
We remember how Jesus felt on the cross, to say, my God, why have you forsaken me ?
Psalm 22:1 My God, my God, why hast thou forsaken me? why art thou so far from helping me, and from the words of my roaring?
Matthew 27:46 And about the ninth hour Jesus cried with a loud voice, saying, Eli, Eli, lama sabachthani? that is to say, My God, my God, why hast thou forsaken me?
Maybe then we can see that life does not go our way, it goes the way God has it to be, and a way we would never go on, but the comfortable way was never Gods way, it is the way of people who went against God ( the high priests, Pharisees and lawyers.)
Matthew 7:12 Therefore all things whatsoever ye would that men should do to you, do ye even so to them: for this is the law and the prophets.
13 Enter ye in at the strait gate: for wide is the gate, and broad is the way, that leadeth to destruction, and many there be which go in thereat:
14 Because strait is the gate, and narrow is the way, which leadeth unto life, and few there be that find it.
Matthew 18:33 Shouldest not thou also have had compassion on thy fellowservant, even as I had pity on thee?
I think if we humbly take what is on us, and we run to the examples of the suffering in the scriptures, we see the answers there, how through much tribulation we enter into life so that we fain not, learn the patience, and ask God to forgive us, whenever we accuse Him. and also if God wills, we will be given mercy, when we know that same mercy we give to others, as was given to us.
Jeremiah 10:19 Woe is me for my hurt! my wound is grievous; but I said, Truly this is a grief, and I must bear it.
20 My tabernacle is spoiled, and all my cords are broken: my children are gone forth of me, and they are not: there is none to stretch forth my tent any more, and to set up my curtains.
Acts 14:22 Confirming the souls of the disciples, and exhorting them to continue in the faith, and that we must through much tribulation enter into the kingdom of God.
2 Corinthians 4:8 We are troubled on every side, yet not distressed; we are perplexed, but not in despair;
9 Persecuted, but not forsaken; cast down, but not destroyed;
10 Always bearing about in the body the dying of the Lord Jesus, that the life also of Jesus might be made manifest in our body.
11 For we which live are always delivered unto death for Jesus' sake, that the life also of Jesus might be made manifest in our mortal flesh.
James 5:11 Behold, we count them happy which endure. Ye have heard of the patience of Job, and have seen the end of the Lord; that the Lord is very pitiful, and of tender mercy.
