There are many examples in the Bible (as in my life), where God makes His presence known through circumstances that tax the individual to his very soul & to the very end of his wits.....
It may seem strange to us that God uses such incredible adversity to prepare His servants for greater service, but this is God's way. An incubation period of testing our 'Belief system' & 'tempering your inner core' (like with steel) for better & improved usage
God knows that the human heart is incapable of voluntarily stepping into situations that take us beyond our comfort zone. He intentionally brings us into hard places to prove us and to drive us deeper into the soil of His Grace.....

In arid regions of the world, like here in ANGOLA, West Africa, -trees cannot survive unless their roots grow deeper to where the water table can be found. Once they reach the water, these trees become stronger than any tree that can be found in tropical climates. Their root systems ensure that they can withstand any storm.
In the same way, God brings us into extremely difficult situations in order to prove His Power and drive our spiritual roots deeper.....
God may take me/you through times when you will question His love for you....
In such times, we must cling to His coattail so that we see His purposes in it. Do not throw away your confidence; it will be richly rewarded.
"You need to persevere so that when you have done the will of God, you will receive what He has promised. For in just a very little while, 'He who is coming will come and will not delay. But My righteous one will live by faith. And if he shrinks back, I will not be pleased with him'" (Hebrews 10:36-38).
Has God called you to stand for a cause bigger than yourself?
You might have opposition to His call; sometimes it even comes from those in your own loved ones closest to you....!
But if God has called you, then you can be sure He will make a way. He has already opened the way before you.
But, you must walk in faith, joined with Him to take the land.
"...Be strong and courageous. Do not be terrified; do not be discouraged, for the Lord your God will be with you wherever you go" (Joshua 1:9).
