We can face hardships when we walk the path of faith. But we have to know it is God's test.
God tested us to refine our hearts and give us his blessings.
Even if we don't know his will now, we can realize it when we enter heaven.
Thus, we should give thanks in all circumstances because these aren't meaningless.
What we need is to rely on God. Then, God will make us know the way.

[1 Thessalonians 5:16–18]
Be joyful always; pray continually; give thanks in all circumstances, . . .

[Proverbs 17:3]
The crucible for silver and the furnace for gold, but the LORD tests the heart.
