The best in you...
Job 5:
17 Behold, happy is the man whom God correcteth: therefore despise not thou the chastening of the Almighty:
18 For he maketh sore, and bindeth up: he woundeth, and his hands make whole.
19 He shall deliver thee in six troubles: yea, in seven there shall no evil touch thee.
During our correction, or even our testing and trials know that God is doing and allowing it out of love. We can be happy, knowing that it's to bring out the best in us, though a lot of times it's hard to smile through the storm.
The Lord inflicts pain, but he also heals?He breaks hearts and puts them together again, he wounds and hurts but the same hand makes you whole. (Though he never neglects us) He allows us to experience neglect from others and disappointment, but in the end and through it all his arms are their to comfort.
Why?
In feelings of disappointment we asked why, but that's because we misunderstood. God didn't allow you to get hurt necessarily because he was angry with you, or because he wanted you to cry, but because he wants to bring out the best in you...
How?
We thought we were invincible, especially in our youth. We roamed like gods until it happened to us. Until we got dumped, until we went through divorce, until we got sick, until our family kicked us out... You never knew that you could hurt so bad, you never knew that you could cry so hard, no, not until you experienced it for yourself.
Through our pains we learn to trust in God more than ever, because we realize how frail we really are and how mighty God truly is. Your pains bring the humility that will cause God to exalt you (Jam 4:6), you see, you have to go through the valley before you can reach the mountaintop... So don't give up, it's not for you to commit (spiritual or physical) suicide though some people have chosen that rout. God didn't design your situation to kill you, but to bring out the greatest potential in you, a miracle he planted in the secret of your soul before you were born.
There are miracles in you
It was in you all along, but it's the agitations of life that God will use to bring it out. There are inventions and abilities in you, there are miracles in your belly to be manifested. Like a pregnant woman, she experiences nausea, head aces, has to change from here comfortable diet and is inconvenienced in her sleeps, but she's carrying a potential world changer, a gift from God. What great joy the baby brings when born, but before the joy you have to go through the pain...
You are not forgotten
It seems as though no one cares about you in the hardest times, people walk away from your side and you feel as though God has forgotten you, but it's the total opposite. For God is nigh to the person with a broken heart and a contrite spirit -Psalms 34:18. He's closer to you in your brokenness, the feelings of misery does something to Gods?heart, it draw the manifested attention of God, a closeness you would never experience if you didn't have the pain.
2. More reasons why
God is creating a story, an experience of you with him in life, so that when you begin to invent, when you speak or perform it's not only by what you read and practiced but out of what you're experienced. Now the songs you write will be with strong passion, something greater will move within you when you hear Jesus' voice. See, there is a passion that comes out of our pains that we would never have if we didn't experience them.
3. More reasons why
If we were never sick we wouldn't go to the doctor, pain is one of the things God uses to cause the unbeliever to call on his name. One of the best things in every man is his ability to worship (by function man is naturally a worshiper), and the trouble helps man to direct his worship to the right place, God...
4. More reasons why
Satan's claim on man since Adams failure (Rom 8:20, 6:16) causes us to experience pains we don't necessarily deserve. Pro 14:31 (-everyone's sin effects all people)
5. More reasons why
Free will gave others and us the right to choose to love or to hurt, but it doesn't come without responsibility, so those that have offended will also receive hurt from God. -2ndCor 5:10
6. More reasons why
No one likes pain, we don't want to cry and be offended and God doesn't want us to either, woe to those that offend, BUT offences must come -Matt18:7... Gods' capacity to love is greater than ours, and his capacity to hurt is greater than ours, so God hurts more than you for what you're going through. But he knows that the healing he'll give you is much stronger than any pain we could experience in life, so much so that you will forget your misery -Job 11:16... you'll remember the experience but God will cause you to forget the soul hammering pain using only the passion you got from it. The diamond from the rock, the filtered water from the mud, the sugar from the cane...
But like a dentist, he doesn't force us to open our mouths, he only tells us to, but if we don't work with him he can't get to the pain.
Don't you remember?
It was in the breaking of the bread that God did the miracle. It was in the breaking that the hungry were fed, it was in the breaking that men were amaised and astonished, it was in the breaking that lives were preserved. Your troubles weren't given just for your benefits with God, but for nations to be healed, and minds to be fed with the miracle that comes out of your life that was broken...
And when it's all over
God roots out, pulls down, destroys and throws down, but then he builds, and he plants -Jer 1:10.
19 He shall deliver thee in six troubles: yea, in seven there shall no evil touch thee.
When it's all over, that's when we're become invincible. Six things will try to attack us at one time and God won't allow us to experience them, yea, when the gates of hell and all its demons have broken loose on you they won't be able to touch you.
Read- Job 5:19-26

The Lord will never give you more than you can handle -1st Cor 10:13, and when it seems like you can't handle it you're not using all your available strength. And the Lord is your strength (patience, perseverance, hope, strong confidence, long-suffering, temperance, reviver), and He is also the Word - John 1:1-5(Pray it and Read it continually)...
