    1.) You have to have trials so that your faith can be proven.  
            -The story of Job is a great example. Job had faith in God despite all the obstacle that were being thrown his way.
    2.) You go through what you go through, so that you are able to find God in your situation. 
    3.) You have obstacles so that your faith may be proven genuione, and then you can give God glory, honor, and praise.
-Your trials are tailor made, that way God gives you exactly what he know you can handle. In the end it will help to strengthen your faith.
