In Luke 22:31-34 we have the story of Jesus and Peter just before Jesus went to the cross. Jesus understood Peter's weaknesses, and Jesus prays for him that his faith may not fail.  Even in the revealing of the fact that Satan had asked to sift Peter as wheat their is a powerful spiritual reality. Satan has to ask permission to try us. This shows us that our Father believes in us so much that we will pass the test.
