Jesus is present in our lives to help us deal with the adversity, not necessarily to make the adversity go away.
On the surface, there does appear to be unfairness about adversity for people of faith.
Certainly, if we look at adversity from the standpoint of the world, people of faith should get an easier life because people of faith believe in God.
From the standpoint of the world, believers in God should receive protection from God because of their faith, at least more protection than non-believers.
However, our mission on earth is to glorify God in all ways, at all times, and in all circumstances.
Our mission on earth is to glorify God in the dark times as well as in the good times.
As twisted as the logic may appear to be, we are to use every adversity, someway, somehow, to glorify God.
It is when we glorify God as a result of the darkness in our life that the darkness is most surely defeated.
To find the power to do our glorification work, Christ is present in our heart every hour.
