Growth must be pursued. It does not happen on its own. God has a process of growth he wants to take you on. Colossians 3:5-9 gives us a list of things to put to death.

Pain creates qualities in you that can only be formed through struggle, and God will guide you through it. “for he who is in you is greater than he who is in the world”. 1 John 4:4

Don’t see trials and tests as God being against you; instead, understand that they are not about punishment but rather about preparation.
