OP: sometimes life seems too difficult. You mention we are tested by satan all the time. It certainly feels that way on a regular basis and it seems to be accelerating with bigger and more difficult tests.

How do we keep going?

Sometimes it feels like there is no point to it all. Why would god create a system based on pain and suffering?

Why do we need to be tested if we are a part of god?

When I look around humanity, I don't see anyone evolving and getting better. If anything, we are heading in the wrong direction. Seems the system is not really built for anyone to actually pass any of these tests. Seems the test maker has full control of the realm.

Why be tested in a realm we don't understand, on a curriculum that has never been taught to us, by a tester whose goal is to create situations for failure? Where's the divine purpose in all of that? Seems the god who created this system must be one and the same as the tester you speak of.

These are all sincere questions.

Thanks.
