Brother Muhseen
Remember that Allah never turns his back on us. When he tests us he wants to see how much patience we have. Keep your head up Brother, and remember trials will make you more bright & stronger, and the best people that Allah has created whether they were Muslim or nonmuslim in history all happened to live very tough lives. But Masha'Allah Look who they came to be. I have seen a few things in my life, and I know that if I look at what others went through it makes me feel like I should be in prayer thanking Allah for everything he has put me through because Alhamdulilah it made me a better person today.
Please read the story of Prophet Ayoub.
By the way, you don't have to apologize for telling us how you feel we are your Brothers and Sisters in Islam.
The Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) said: "Seek help from God and do not lose heart. And if anything (in the form of trouble) comes to you, don't say, 'If I had not done (something differently), (the troubles) would not have happened,' but (instead) say, 'God did that what He had ordained to do.' Your 'if' opens the (gate for Satan.)"
