If God is causing everything for the good of everyone, does it make life more tolerable?
I know there is a debate whether or not God causes everything, most people cannot imagine it being that way. But this question is focused on the possibility that everything is happening just as God directs it to do.
If this were the case, would it make life's troubles, trials, and suffering more tolerable? Or would it just tick you off even more?

No, you make your own trials more tolerable. You are your own god.

The scriptures bring our that "but the whole world is lying in the [power of the] wicked one.[The devil]." Found at: 1 John 5:19.
It is true that God has our best interests at hand, but soon he will replace this system with a new one, more tolerable. Rev. 21:3-5 "And he will wipe out every tear from their eyes and death will be no more, neither will mourning nor outcry nor pain be anymore. The former things have passed away...Look! I am making all things new... Write because these words are faithful and true."

Use your bible if you can.

So what you are saying is if God caused everything to happen, no cause and effect then there is no free will, and that whole original sin set up is a puppet play God did because he wants to push people around. If what you are proposing is true then your religion is based on lies. Your saviors sacrifice means nothing.

God does not causes the evil we suffer
Job 34:11-13 (Darby Translation)
11For a man's work will he render to him, and cause every one to find according to [his] way.
12Yea, surely, AAA‚ùGod ACTH not wickedly, and the Almighty perverted not judgment.
13Who hath entrusted to him the earth? and who hath disposed the whole world?
And he will remove the true cause of it
Psalm 37:10 (New International Version)
10 A little while, and the wicked will be no more;
though you look for them, they will not be found.

It would be neither a cause for consolation nor consternation. We ultimately suffer alone and if you think God caused it for good, wouldn't that be like me pulling the wings off of a bird for "the greater good"?

it would make your life more tolerable if you are serving him, it might make it worse if you are not serving him, people may say that makes him a cruel god but a few bumps in the road to draw you to him are a whole lot better than living in a lake of fire and brimstone with demons and torture for eternity

if "god" were causing everything for the good of "everyone," why the hell are there starving children, women being raped, innocent people being brutally murdered, etc.? why would "he" do that? that sure isn't for the "good" of everyone.

"GOD causes everything to work for good to them that love Him, that are called according to His purpose"
