For those struggling in suffering and hard times now, I just wanted to offer this reminder for you to encourage you to hold on. Remember that negative things and hard times and challenges are not indicators of God's love or lack thereof. Ultimately, the cross of Christ and the empty tomb are the indicators of God's love for us all.
(And sometimes, even hard circumstances can be indicators of God's love for us because God uses such things to grow us to who we need to be.)
There's a song that has a line that says, "I beg your pardon- I never promised you a rose garden." God hasn't promised that everything is always going to be rosy for us. He has promised us that the Rose of Sharon will always be with us though. He has suffered too and He knows what it's like. And He holds the future (and the present and past) all in His hands. He has a good plan in mind for us that the suffering will bring in the end- and as Romans 8 tells us, though we may have some scratches from the thorn in the side- in the end as we hold to Him everything will be coming up roses. 
Psalms 138:7-8
-I love what Jesus said about how He didn't come to destroy men's lives but to save them. Luke 9:55-56
Also see Lamentations 3:19-41 - especially v. 33 He doesn't afflict from the heart. He will have compassion- He is good to those who wait for Him. It is good that we wait silently for the salvation of The Lord. And we can wait knowing that The Lord's salvation will come in His time and He will never let us go. (Hebrew 13:6-8)
