Rebbe Nachman of Breslov explains that the obstacles that a person encounters in life are designed to enhance that person's desire. For that reason, before a person makes a significant accomplishment in the service of Hashem-especially in the acquisition of something that is vital to his or her Judaism such a enhanced holiness-the person is tested with a series of obstacles. her or she must overcome these obstacles to attain their goal. Nevertheless, the obstacles are the agents that extract a person's very best efforts in making spiritual gain, since obstacles fuel desire.from Chassidic Pearls by Rabbi Lazer Brody p.8
Sometimes it seems like just when we are beginning to really get somewhere, it gets even harder. We have to remember that this is not the time to give up, it is the time to try harder.
