One promise Jesus made that we don’t like is that we would have suffering in this world. We were promised suffering. It’s part of it. We were even told, “Blessed are they that mourn”. Is it easier to accept this when it happens to the lives of others instead of ours...? Yes it is. But it doesn’t change the reality of Jesus’ promise. But He also promises we will obtain peace, and encourages us to still have hope because He has overcome this world in which we will have trouble.
