When such trials are so difficult as to make God himself seem unjust, or even to have broken his promises and betrayed his covenant with the saints, then the seriousness of the test approaches that of Abraham who was commanded—as a test of his faithfulness—to slay his son Isaac (see Genesis 22:1-19).
