Well, we don’t know what He has in store for us at the present time. I use “lucky” because He could just as easily intend for us to suffer mightily for our sins, for which we have many. You aren’t incorrect in your statement, however.
God rebukes fatalism in Romans. “But who resists His will?” The answer to that is “God is patient with those waltzing on to hell” [HTRN paraphrase].
His constant call is repent, repent, repent. Which will avert the worst.
No “mighty suffering” can hold a candle to Jesus on the Cross. How much stock do we wish to put in that? It grieves the Holy Spirit to try to add to the Cross. We already have a Cross, upheld by the Holy Spirit.
