Maybe the "point" of life from a religious standpoint is to overcome and struggle. After all when human beings do not have struggle and strife they tend to become complacent and ungrateful. This point is made over and over in the Bible, god asks people to do x and they conveniently forget and the next thing you know you're having wild orgies for the Cow God. If history is anything to go by, we do seriously suck at retaining the lessons of our mistakes, we fail to pass them on and enforce them adequately in each new generation.
I don't believe in a moral god, but if I did, I would suggest this: it's not nearly enough to understand morality and follow the path of good if it's chosen for you. The whole arc of humanity in a Christian sense has been to regain its place at the side of god after blindly disobeying by learning exactly what evil is... and of our own volition, giving it up because we have learned how harmful it is. You can't truly learn the lesson and the value of good and doing right without the perspective of pain and knowing the harm evil causes. For god to just magic away all our problems would have us still ignorant of the lesson and ready to repeat it.
maybe think of our idea of god not as an actual reality up there in the sky, but a moral guide pointing the way out of a cage made of the evil that our unfettered instincts and desires can lead to. In which case, you have passed the test, learned the lesson, and struggle despite everything in your life to remain a moral and good person even while people around you act like animals. You are doing it right.
