Tribulation is the trials and errors of this worldly life, we all go through or we're going through some type of tribulations. The bible speaks of tribulations, so it's of common knowledge.... that we shouldn't protest to much; because it appears that tribulations are a natural occurrence, that happens at one time or another.

We have no control of our tribulations, but if we pray about them and have faith and courage; even this shall pass. We talk about all kinds of tribulations, and none of us want to go through them. But remember, Jesus went through his trials and tribulations and we aren't no greater than he, who suffered on the cross for our sins. If Jesus suffered and carried his cross, we all have to do the same, whether we like it or not.
