Conflicts and struggles are part of life. The difficulty as they are, God can use them for functional purposes. So stop complaining but ask: What can I learn from this situation? There are various reasons why God’s people suffer. We suffer as a result of our actions or others’ actions or the devil’s work. God can turn a bad situation into a training field; God wants us to grow and overcome it. Jesus is the great example for us to follow. He suffered evil for doing good. When we are suffering, we are following his steps. (1Peter2:21) When we are hurting, remember and believe that God cares deeply and much for us, no matter how difficult our circumstances are. Temporary; victory belongs to God and us. God rewarded Job twice what he had lost. (Job42:10)

"But he said to her, “You speak as one of the foolish women would speak. Shall we receive good from God, and shall we not receive evil?”[a] In all this Job did not sin with his lips." - Job 2:10 (English Standard Version)

"Lord, For I know that You allow both excellent and suffering to happen because You love me and in Your infinite wisdom You will build my character to be more like Jesus through them. In Jesus’ name, Amen."
