Deuteronomy 5:29 - "O that there were such an heart in them, that they would fear me, and keep all my commandments always, that it might be well with them, and with their children for ever!"
The Lord loves us and wants to help us. But in order for us to be blessed by Him, we must live as He has commanded us. It's sort of like when a child, confused as to why his mother does not want him to climb high on the bricks, climbs higher and higher, and then falls and hurts himself, over and over again. And yet he will not heed his mother's suggestion. We tend to do what we think is best for ourselves - against the Lord's counsel - and then cry out and wonder when we find ourselves hurt again and again.
