The creator rebukes who loves
Happy is the man whom the Creator chastens, and whom you teach your Torah" (Tehilim - Psalms 94-12)
If you're going through a difficult time, don't worry, Hashem is right there and is allowing it for your good.
As King David says:
"How good it is for me that I have been afflicted, that I may learn your statutes. I prefer the Torah from your mouth to thousands of pieces of gold and silver. Your hands have made me and molded me; give me understanding that I may learn your commandments."
(Tehilim- Psalms 119: 71-73)
Punishment and suffering are what lead a person to a greater perception of the Torah.
And indeed, if through suffering you increase your understanding, this will be a sign that you have achieved something great and that you have worked with suffering in the appropriate way.
Your deepening of spiritual awareness is a sign that you were able to utilize suffering to reach the state of "Bitul" (which is self-nullification) in the ultimate goal, because the vestige that remains after the state of "Bitul" is what generates an increase in the understanding of the Torah.
(Based on the teachings of Rabbi Nachman)
