I think troubles seem worse when "thou art in they youth", simply because you have less life experience. What seems like a garganutan problem at 21 may not seem like much of an issue at 31, and you may have no idea why you got upset at all about it at 41. Don't be too hard on yourself for feeling that way, it's just how life works.
This passage is very reassuring to me. "Whoever shall put their trust in God shall be supported in their trials, troubles, afflictions and shall be lifted up on the last day." I can see so many parents and mentors telling the young people in their lives this passage and praying that the advice is listened to and absorbed. Of course just hearing that doesn't mean that you won't have problems-sometimes very serious ones-but for some of us just knowing that God is their supporting us is incredibly comforting.
