These are all Min HaShamayim, and are all for the good. Each person has the perfect Chisaron that he needs for his Shleimus. Either to tolerate or to overcome, partially or completely. [You need a Rebbe and plenty of Tefila to know how to deal with your personal challenge].
For good reason, Tanach and Chazal are loaded with stories of even our greatest Tzadikim who suffered from all kinds of Ruchaniyus and Gashmiyus difficulties; they are examples for all of us. Calm down and be happy! We are in Hashem’s hands, and He knows exactly what He’s doing!
All your life, you may be thirsting for a Yeshua in the area that Hashem made you weak. Often, it would be the worst thing for you if you got what you wanted. Here’s a poor man, who finally became wealthy and comfortable. But with money comes a new Yetzer Hara which he never had before. This can ruin him Chas V'shalom, and send him straight to Gehinom Chas V'shalom.
The Goyim wanted a Navi, so they got Bilam. R' Chaim Kanievsky Zatzal says that Bilam actually started off being a nice person, but thanks to the lofty levels he reached, he became a super Rasha and Baal Ga'ava. When you “have it all” you have zero, because being a Baal Ga'ava means an express ticket to the worst Gehinom, Rachmana Litzlan. Moshe Rabeinu was unusual; he had everything, yet he gave Hashem the credit, and he became the Anav Mi'kol Adam.
People who are M'kabel Yissurim B'ahavah are Zoche to tremendous Tikkunim for their Neshama. The Zechus is priceless, and many other Yidden benefit from one Yid’s Kabbolas Yissurim B'ahavah. Truly accepting Yissurim with your whole heart [as best as you can] can be a Segula to quickly rid yourself of them, B’ezras Hashem.
