Hashem Knows
We cannot understand the ways of Hashem, but we do know that He loves us more than we love ourselves.
The greatest thank you that we can give Hashem - one that He'll appreciate so much - is when we're experiencing a difficulty. That, says the Chatam Sofer, is why we include the wars in the Al Hanissim to say, "Hashem, we recognize, even those were good for us and we thank you for that as well."
Whenever a person is experiencing a situation that he wants to question Hashem on, he has an opportunity to say, "I believe, Hashem, that this is good for me because You only do what's best. Thank You even for this." That statement will bring the person joy and infinite rewards. And more importantly, it will also bring joy to Hashem.
