I do not think that that is the reason we should follow God though. Everyone who is a believer goes through difficult times, just the same as nonbelievers. The only difference in the outcome of our situations is, as believers, we have a hope to hold on to. Unbelievers are not so reliant on what God will do, but what they can do themselves to help their situations. Everyone at some point in their lives feels alone, and secluded from the people we love the most. As believers, we have someone to pray to, and find strength in. Nonbelievers struggle more with not having a loving God to comfort them so they try to find love from this world. In some ways we all can find God in times of our lives like that. When I was weakest, I found Gods strength instead of turning to find something to fulfill the emptiness. The world gives us joy, but it does not last for long. God gives us an everlasting joy when we find ourselves in Him, and not just in his blessings. The greatest joy is loving a God who loves you, not just loving a God to bless
