No one is exempt from trials, but God provides absolutely everything we need to get through them, have victory, and bear witness to them.

22 Immediately Jesus made his disciples get into the boat and go before him to the other side, while he dismissed the crowd. 23 After he had sent the crowd away, he went up on the mountain by himself to pray. When evening came, he was there alone. 24 Now the boat was already in the middle of the sea, tossed by the waves, for the wind was contrary. 25 But in the fourth watch of the night Jesus came to them, walking on the sea. 26 When the disciples saw him walking on the sea, they were troubled, saying, "It is a ghost!" And they cried out for fear. 27 But immediately Jesus spoke to them, saying, "Take heart; it is I; do not be afraid!" Then Peter answered him and said, "Lord, if it is you, command me to come to you on the water." 29 And he said, Come. And Peter got out of the boat and walked on the water to go to Jesus. 30 But when he saw the wind, he was afraid, and beginning to sink, he cried out, "Lord, save me!" 31 And immediately Jesus stretched out his hand and caught him, and said to him, "O you of little faith, why did you doubt?" 32 And when they had gotten into the boat, the wind ceased. 33 Then those who were in the boat came and worshiped him, saying, "Truly you are the Son of God."

And when they had made their way, they came to the land of Gennesaret.

Matthew 14:22-34

I believe that trials are something that concern us all, we never stop going through one, the reality is that if we are not in a storm, we have come out or are entering another. In any case, God is our provider and supports us especially in the most difficult moments of our lives, even in the darkest night we are going through.

The previous picture shows us a stormy night on the Sea of ​​Galilee, and just as He has done with His disciples, He does it with us today. Let us look in detail at some characteristics of how the Lord Jesus Christ does it today.

First of all, we see that Jesus appears, this means that He is present and just as His word says, He gives us the security and certainty that He will never leave us, in any situation we can have that security that God is present no matter how difficult the situation is.

8 And the Lord goes before you; He will be with you, He will not fail you nor forsake you; do not be afraid or dismayed.

Deuteronomy 31:8

Secondly, we can see that God is a provider par excellence, He makes a way where there is no way, He does much more than we can understand. God has total control even over the storm and uses that difficult situation to fulfill his purpose in us. Maybe at that moment we don't understand it but we can always trust that he guides us only for our good.

We can see that in these complicated situations for us God is totally willing to make everything part of our growth, here we can put into practice our trust and faith while God works with power and control in all situations.

I agree that nobody likes difficult times, the hardest tests. But let us always remember that the hand of God is in our favor, He is there to bless us and God will use adversity for our good only, even if the tests generate pain and suffering, it is spontaneous and it is an opportunity to trust in God to call Him more knowing Him much more.
