"My thoughts are not your thoughts" says the Lord

I was wondering why God allows difficulties to strikes His children. Sometimes there is fear inside of me, fear that if God blesses me, a difficult problem is on the way. It seems like God blesses me in exchange for some difficulties and trials in life. And mind you the problems are getting harder and harder. It enters my mind why would God help me get through the difficulties when after helping me He would send yet other difficult trials. I come to the point where I question God on why do these things happened to me. I don’t know why do God allows that to happened, all I know is I’m freaking tired of it. But I know that God had His own reasons for everything, as God says in his word through Isaiah 55:8-9 “For my thoughts are not your thoughts, neither are your ways my ways. For as the heavens are higher than the earth, so are my ways higher than your ways, and my thoughts than your thoughts.” The only thing that God asked of me is to trust Him. Yes it’s true that difficulties, problems and trials will continue to bombard our lives as long as we live but the good news is God is bigger than any of those and I know as I face all those challenges God is at my side He won’t let me go through it alone.
