Many think that when they face trials that they are being tested and tried by God, that is simply not true.. The bible clearly tells us at James 1:13 "When under trial let no one say, I'm being tried by God. For with evil things God cannot be tried, nor does he himself try anyone". Ultimately it is God's adversary, the Devil is the sole cause of our problems that we have. Some however are truly a result of poor choices that we ourselves make.
