God will test us. As a matter of fact, I truly believe every single trial and tribulation on this earth, whether it was do to our own ignorance and weaknesses or from those of someone else, is ultimiately a testing of our faith.

God surely tests us, and so we must put all our trust in Him. The word "faith" comes from the Latin fides, which also means "trust." How much Father Abraham loved and trusted God, even when God asked for the sacrifice of his son Isaac -- trusted that all would be well provided that the Lord's will would be done. In following the Lord's will, we become the person He intended for us to be.
