"The deepest kind of worship is when you are out of your comfort zone."
It's easy to say that you love God when all circumstances are in your favor. However, most of us fail to worship God amidst trials and pressure. As for me, persecution enfolds my environment. A christian friend even remarked that it is a "weird" thing to reach out to our friend.
God never promised a painless life. In fact, God purposely allows hardships to come. Just imagine a PERFECT life, who would need a God if that happens. When God takes away the good things(or sometimes even GREAT things) in our lives, we are now faced with a challenge. Nevertheless, it depends on our response whether to take the challenge as a problem or as a blessing.
When I was a kid, I wondered why people don't seat near the front row chairs in a movie house. If they go there for the big screen, it would be better to sit in front so that they'd see the movie larger, as they want it to be. A few months ago, i finally experienced sitting near the screen. I realized that it was too near, I can barely see the whole picture. Same with life, sometimes God allow us to take a step back to widen out the picture. When we think we are in the front row seats of life and that we have it all, God constantly reminds us that it is not what life is all about.
