re: "God's plan" God does not save us from earthly suffering

I am believer and a Christian. But all too often I hear people say "God has a plan" as if his plan is to save them from impending earthly suffering. I have been hearing this alot in in light of what has happened this election and going back to March. God does not save us from earthly suffering, and we may be on our way to some of that soon.
Suffering is not a new concept for most of human history, I don't understand why Americans think they are immune from it. It is our job while on earth to try and prevent it, but I don't understand sitting and waiting for God to fix it for us.
God does have a plan... but no where in the Bible does it say that the plan is to have America as the greatest country in history for the rest of eternity.
His plan is to ultimately end sin, pain, suffering, etc... for those who accept him as Savior. The pain and suffering will continue for those who do not.
God's plan is to never give us more than we can handle when we have him leading our decisions.
I was contemplating this on the way to work today. God never said that we'd have it easy. But despite all the despair that may come to us, there is a peace and a comfort in recognizing that regardless of what chapter we may be on in this epic titled "The Human Race", the ending was written a long long time ago, and Christians should know the spoilers.

Well said. God's plan encompasses the entire world of people, not just our little section of it. Is the decline in America symbolic of what is going on world side, yes, but it's not exclusive and isn't the only factor that will play a part in the Lord's return.

This is an often misquoted scripture.
God does not promise not to give us more than we can handle. He does promise to always give us a way out when we are tempted to sin.
1 Corinthians 10-13

If you mean in eternal life, sure. If you mean in this life, no. Scripture says just the opposite.
And Job says hello.

Christians will be the target of world because we strive through sanctification to separate ourselves from the world. Every Apostle except John died while taking the Gospel to the people so we Believers know we too shall have various trials and tribulations before we finally join the Savior in His heavenly home.
