“In the world you will have tribulation.” John 16:33. NKJV

The psalmist put it very clearly and honestly - “It is good for me that I have been afflicted, that I may learn your statutes.” Psalm 119:71. NKJV.

Problems and troubles can be our Father’s tools to make us better Christians.
“Now no chastening seems to be joyful for the present, but painful; nevertheless, afterward it yields the peaceable fruit of righteousness to those who have been trained by it.” Hebrews 12:11. NKJV
Simple!
So!
Let’s welcome troubles!
