After months of this routine, it occurred to me that God must feel about me, exactly how I feel about my daughter when she cries at night. He wishes to come down out of the heavens and rescue me from uncomfortable circumstances, yet he does not, knowing there is something important about this experience I must go through to glean wisdom and character. He knows this wisdom is necessary for me to grow and produce fruit in the Kingdom of God. Just as I know my daughter must learn how to sleep at night in order to become a healthy person on this earth.
It hurts when God does not save me from myself and my life. But knowing his reasoning is the growth and betterment of the Kingdom, makes figuring it out on my own a little more tolerable. If I feel such deep sorrow for my crying daughter, how much more does God feel pained by my suffering? Having gained this insight about the heart of God, makes me love him all the more. Even for His tough love.

Try some more "showing" or dialogue in the first part. Have the daughter calling out "Mom!" and give the mom's thoughts, rather than just telling us what's happening.
