You may face hardship although you have lived a diligent believing life and tried to live by the Word of God. Then you may think, 'Why did God not protect me?' Suppose a toddler with his parents. They watch their child walking. When he falls, they wait until he stands up by himself. They are not acting indifferently toward their child. They have their eyes on him so that he won't get hurt or be put in danger. In the same manner, God lets us undergo trials so that our faith can grow up, but He keeps His eyes on us all the time and in His care He protects us (1 Corinthians 10:13).
