If people were too happy and comfortable in their physical existence, they would never seek God. Most people turn to God when they are faced with intolerable pain, an incurable illness, a devastating loss, or a financial disaster, or find that life is not as great as they thought it was. It is during these times of crises that we begin to wonder if life is as good as we thought. We begin to question what the purpose of life is.
Adversity turns our faces to God. Without it, most people would not give God a second thought. It makes us pray to God to help us.
If faced with adversity from which it seems there is nothing we can do to relieve it, we should take it as a gift from God to remind us that this world is not our true Home. It is a wake up call to teach us that we should not be too comfortable in this physical world. At times, God removes the soft coverings so we can be reminded that this life is painful and full of suffering. This realisation will drive us to put in a greater effort to meditate more and to soar to our home of true peace: the lap of God.
