Proverbs 3:18: She is a tree of life to those who lay hold of her; those who hold her fast are called happy.
Sometimes we lack a bit of intuition or wisdom. Sometimes we lack common sense completely!
God will always be willing and ready to teach us wisdom when we are willing to stop and ask him for direction!
God does have a mean sense of humour and may well place us in position where we are very uncomfortable - so we can learn and others can learn from what he teaches us.
I have spent far more time in difficult situations than I wish to remember, but I know God has always been trying to guide me well throughout!
