Why me?

Do you ever go through a hard day and ask the Lord why me? Or better yet, I'm trying as hard as I can, and I'm trying to be as faithful to you Lord so why Lord why? I think we all have those days. The hard ones that seem impossible to get over. But then I got to thinking about Job. Here's a man in the Bible who did the right things always, where we don't. And what happened to Job? Satan told God that he thought Job would turn from the Lord if his world fell apart. And just like that the Lord tested Job, and his life as he knew it seemed to be over. He even contemplated why he was alive, why the Lord didn't take him along with his daughters and sons who had died. In this we see someone more faithful than we are, someone who strayed from sin as we tend to fall into sin daily. And we complain about our problems? Most of us don't have our whole families dying around us. We have things around us, more than anyone in the world has ever had. Do we ever remember that? We have more than any human being in the history of the world, and yet we continue to grumble about the smallest of issues. Not only this but we must consider. That like Job, the Lord is testing us daily. If things fall apart in our world, who do we turn to? How will we react? Job was faithful through it all, through the hurt, pain, depression, lost hope. So shouldn't we try to do the same? If we don't who wins? Evil previals in our moments of losing our faith in being able to see past this moment, for these moments have been described as shadows just passing phases that do not last.
