The whole book of Job.
Job's world came crashing down around him - even though he did everything "right." He worked hard and honestly, but then he was robbed of everything. So we ask, what's the point in working hard and being honest if something like that can happen to you?
Job prayed for his children and offered sacrifices in their behalf. Yet his children were all killed together in a single day. And so we ask, what's the point in praying or what's the point in raising our children correctly?
Job said that the world "hangs on nothing..."
God says, "No. The world has foundations and pillars. I set them. You just didn't happen to be there when I did."
And so today, we look at our world floating in space, seemingly without a foundation or supporting pillars, and we ask, "What's the point?" That's the test of our faith.
