Spiritual Growth

Question

I am am in my early 20’s. I have been through significant childhood trauma that I am in the process of overcoming. I’ve struggled with my relationship with hashem but I am finally ready to revisit it. I want to know if you can give me specific quotes from Chazal about hashem being a loving father. And about hashem lovingly giving us challenges. And others with a similar message for me to have to repeat to myself when things are hard that hashem loves me and didn’t abandon me to suffer.
