God is constantly at work, using pain to accomplish His pain in those who acknowledge Him and those who don't. He uses pain to get our attention.
C. S. Lewis
"We can rest contentedly in our sins and in our stupidity. We can ignore even pleasure. But pain insisted on being attended to. God whispers to us in our pleasures, speaks in our conscience but shouts in our pain..."
Awaken to pain, we cry to God!
Psalm 130
Out of the depths I cry you oh God. Sadly we have to sink into our deaths to cry out to God.
God inflicts us with pain so that out of the deaths we can repent from our sinfulness and cry out to God.
Our tears of sorrows then turn to tears of appreciation. We will turn our gaze from our self to God!
God uses pain to shape us into loving, humble, gentle saints!
