In "Surprised By Joy," Lewis has a particularly heart-wrenching experience as a child. Unanswered prayers for his mom's recovery, unanswered questions about God.And then, he finds God (rather, God finds him), when he leasts expects it. I like this. This is my experience as a Christian. But why does God make us go throught the tough times? I don't know why, but I know that when the rain finally subsides, and the sunshine comes out again it is that much more beautiful of a scene for me.And for God to catch me when I least expect it, is better then it happening when I do expect it.

It could be that by going through the tough times, God is showing you just why you need Him. It is kind of like asking the question, "Do you really think you can get through this alone? Without any friends or someone who will watch your back?" You wouldn't dream of going through some major life problem without a friend to back you up, God is trying to tell you that you can't do it without Him either.
