Does anyone else feel envious of people who’ve been dealt a terrible hand in life but still have absolute faith in God?

​

Sometimes I see people who have gone through incredibly difficult circumstance like being blind, deaf, seriously disabled, or experiencing things that seem deeply unfair and yet they still have this pure, unwavering faith in God.

I honestly find myself envious of that kind of faith. I wonder, where does that absolute trust come from? How can someone go through so much suffering and still genuinely believe that God is looking out for them or that there’s a purpose behind everything?

I'm baffled but at the same time, I won't lie and say I see admiration? But then I later come to my senses and see that maybe their argument is more of an emotional one?

I don't know, I'm just typing my thoughts out and wanted to see if someone could relate 🤷‍♂️
