God allows us to go through certain situations to make us stronger and to accomplish his ultimate purpose. He does understand what we are going through as he has come to the world as flesh and he knows all the problems and weaknesses we go through. Talk to him, he will understand and give you the courage to go through a situation as he has been through it.
