Every test is willed for reasons only known to Allah and only He is able to remove our afflictions. No matter how hard we try to escape our troubles, we will never be able to, unless of course, Allah wills it Himself.
If Allah touches you with harm, none can remove it but He, and if He touches you with good, then He is able to do all things. [171. Surah AI-An'am 6:17]
This is why it can be so easy to give in to temptation. However, we should always remain Allah-fearing in everything we do. No matter how desperate our situation may become, Allah will always provide for us.
'And He will provide for him from sources he never could imagine. And whoever puts his trust in Allah, He will suffice him. ' [174. Surah At-Talaq 65:3]
Allah always responds to our cries for help. The more we turn to Him, the more likely He is to respond, and the more we remember Him, the more He will grant us mercy, protection and forgiveness during times of difficulty.[ 175. Narrated by Abu Huraira. (Agreed Upon)] The following hadith explain how Allah eagerly responds to our plight in times of need:
Allah says: "Men a servant of mine advances towards me a foot, I advance towards him a yard, and when he advances towards me a yard, I advance towards him the length of his both arms spread out. When he comes to me walking, I turn to him running." [176. Narrated by Anas (Bukhari)]
Your Lord is Generous, and is ashamed to turn away empty the hands of His servant when he raises them to Him. [177. Narrated by Salaman . (Abu Dawud)]
