Most of us believe in god but when something is not favorable for us we start to blame god for this. Have you ever noticed that we usually remember god only in tough times. There is a famous Doha from Sant Kabir.
"Dukh me sab sumiran kare, sukh me kare na koi,
Jo sukh me sumiran kare to dukh kahe ko hoi"
"दुःख में सब सुमिरन करे सुख में करे न कोई
जो सुख में सुमिरन करे तो दुःख कहे को होइ "
Means that We all remember god in our difficult times or when we are in peril, but we don't understand if we always remember god and dedicate all our tasks to him we will not face the difficult time.
There are so many stories which describe how god take care of his children. We are all his children, and even if we are facing dark times he is testing our courage so that when the new sun rises this brings happiness to our lives.
Here I am taking an incidence mentioned in "Shri Ramcharitmanas", When Narad Muni(Sage Narada also well known follower of Lord Vishnu according to Sanatan Vedas) Become overconfident on his love for Lord and how lord broke his self-assertiveness.
Once Narad Muni was roaming around this earth and he saw a beautiful place. He really liked that place so he stopped there to do meditation for some time. Now when he was doing so, the king of heaven Indra become afraid that Narad Muni is doing so because he want to obtain power from God to take over his kingdom.
Indra sent Kamdev(The God of sex) to disturb Narad Muni's meditation. Kamdev went to the place with some of his beutiful angels and tried to distract Narad Muni's meditation but as Narad Muni's love to god was limitless Kamdev failed to distract him.
On this Narad Muni become proud and this proud turned into over-confidence that I am conquerer of Lust. He went to Lord Mahadev and narrated the whole story to him, when he finished with the story Lord Mahadev suggested Muni Narad to not go blabbing around about this, specially in front of Lord vishnu. But when Narad Muni visited God Vishnu, he told all the story to him against Lord Mahadev's warning to not do so.
The almighty knew that Muni Narad was blinded by self-assertiveness. So he decided to break his follower's over-confidance. So Lord created an amazing and wonderful kingdom on the earth. That kingdom was so beautiful. When Narad ji was roaming around chanting the name of God, he saw that kingdom and decided to visit it.
When he reached the king's palace, the king become very happy and proud on visit of Narad ji and did lot of praise of him. King has a daughter and she was in the age of getting married. So king called his daughter and asked Narad ji to forecast her future. Narad ji under the power of the almighty become lustful for the princess. He told king that the girl was a very lucky one. The person to marry her will rule the world.
And Narad ji himself wanted to marry the princess despite being a "Brahmchari(the one who never marry and remains dedicated to god always)". It was only the power of god that made Narad ji so lustful for the princess. So he went to God Vishnu, as he know only God could help him in this matter. Narad Muni told the matter to Lord Vishnu and asked god to present him God's Appearance as only God is beautiful of all kind on the earth. But Lord knew that he has to break his over-confidence so he instead presented narad Muni with a terrible look.
The king of illusion Kingdom organized a "swayambar(self selection of husband by the girl)". Narad Muni being lustful for the princess went there thinking that he had a Lord's appearance. But everyone there loathed him as he had actually terrible appearance. So even the princess Ignored him and moved on, Narad Muni could not understand the matter. The Lord Vishnu was present there in appearance of a prince, and princess choose him as her husband.
Narad Muni felt very sad and went to a river where two follower's of Lord mahadev told Narad Muni about his appearance. Narad Muni felt very angry on Lord Vishnu and cursed him badly. But suddenly he saw that There is no such kingdom or princess. it suddenly hit his brain that it was all just an illusion. And he went to Lord Vishnu to apologize for his lust and cursing of God.
Lord Vishnu simply forgave him for all his nonsense and again loved him as his dearest follower and child. Then narad Muni asked Lord that why he didn't allowed Narad ji to marry the princess. Then God told him that, He is dearest of all his followers and he love him so much. So he could not let him to spoil his character as he was a sage and Brahmchari.
Lord said, "like a mother love her son, I love you. if the child is ill, mother does not care if the medicine is bitter but she know this will cure the child, in such a way i had to hurt you to save you from spoiling your trust for me".
So this little tale tells us that God love all his children and even if we are facing bad time, god is planning something good for us. may god bless you all.
"Dukh me sab sumiran kare, sukh me kare na koi,
Jo sukh me sumiran kare to dukh kahe ko hoi"
"दुःख में सब सुमिरन करे सुख में करे न कोई
जो सुख में सुमिरन करे तो दुःख कहे को होइ "
Means that We all remember god in our difficult times or when we are in peril, but we don't understand if we always remember god and dedicate all our tasks to him we will not face the difficult time.
