Wow, that's a bleak thought. Off the cuff, I would venture to say the opposite. The fact that we perceive something as being difficult or unwanted is based on our distance from Hashem (hence l'asid lavo we will only make the bracha hatov v'hameitiv). To counteract that inherit failing on our part we are given a direct apprehension of God when those tests occur. Not because he is most clearly seen during times of travail, but that seeing him clearly during those times is more necessary in order to persevere. However, such direct visage is not necessary to countermand a harsh decree. Therein lies the beauty of the exchange at the Akeida (as aptly depicted by Kierkegaard). Avraham is second guessing himself; is he really being commanded to release his son? Perhaps he is fooling himself? He can only have this question because the message to rescind the commandment was not as clear as the initial instruction.

it is not that God needs to learn that Avraham will do but that the act of testing benefits Avraham and brings out what is potential in him to become what is actual. Of course, this is an oversimplification.
