33 “I have told you these things, so that in me you may have peace. In this world you will have trouble. But take heart! I have overcome the world.” (John 16:33 NIV)

There are many things that point us to God, but nothing more than when we have troubles in this world. Which, we are told and know we will have.

Thus we have good reason to take heart, to endure. To know that God is perfecting us in and through our troubles. Nothing we are facing is different than others face, but just unique to us in our situation.

But again, take heart, God is working to His plan that we may not understand this side of heaven.
