God Makes It Worse

Throw Salt On The Wound: Heavenly Edition.

When someone is trying to get over their problems by ignoring them, God may see this as a opportune moment to prank them by forcing things that remind them of their problems everywhere. An example of this is if Guy needs to stay awake for 24 full hours to win a bet with Hugo and turns his TV on to watch something that'll distract him from needing to sleep. As he watches, Guy continuously sees things relating to sleep like ads for beds, a children's TV show with soothing music playing that causes the characters to fall asleep, and a news report about the importance of resting. When Guy tries to quit TV and read a book instead, he goes over to his bookshelf to pick a book, but all the titles have words relating to sleep in them, making Guy's problem even worse.

Compare to God Sentences You To Shame where God wants someone who did something amoral to feel guilty about what their acts by making them encounter things that remind them of their sinful deed.
