In The Book of Mormon-Alma 34:32 page 295
"For behold, this life is the time for men to prepare to meet God; yea, behold the day of this life is the day for men to perform their labors."
In life we will experience opposition, trials, problems, and challenges. But when you look back at those moments, was it then that you grew as a person or gained understanding? Sometimes we don't understand the adversity we face in life, but the Lord knows what we need. And he knows when we need to grow, and learn. He is shaping us into who he knows we can be. We came to earth to gain experience, and progress toward our goal of eternal life. If we trust and faith in Him, we will have support in our trials. They may not be taken away, but He will help us have the strength to bare our burdens.
Maybe the trick is not to pray for the challenges and trials to be taken away, but to pray for more strength (grace: enabling power) to bare our burdens.
