If there is a God, will he understand why I'm such a shitty

The answer is that there is no god that would do such a thing, or at least not the kind of god that the church preaches to the public

God gives you hardships to test your character and to better yourself and He never gives more than you can handle. So, no He wouldn't forgive you for killing yourself or doing nothing with your life. God gave you all the tools you need to succeed. You just have to use them

what about the kids who are born rich with great parents? What are their hardships

There is a reason we call God "Father".
Like a parent he forgives you when you do mistakes and forgives you for your faults because you are his son, his creation.
If he was disappointed in you he would strike you down the moment you failed him.
You are alive because of him, and you want to make him proud of you, by being a good person and doing good things. And even if you don't make it he's the only one who'll say "you did your best, and I'm proud of you".

Do your best to make things better anon, we believe in you!

Well, akhtually, the Christian God doesn't test us, the Jewish and Muslim variety does though.

For example in the Lord's Prayer the verse "and lead us not into temptation, and deliver us from evil" can be translated as "do not submit us to trial ..." this is because of the many errors and ambiguous language and multiple meaning words in old Greek and aramaic.

It's very interesting stuff actually, Yale has some nice free online courses on the subject

Again, old testament is Jewish, and while christianity also has a basis in the tanakh, you still have to take in account the purpose and significance of the jewish stories and folktales, because that is what most of the old testament is. And that's without even mentioning the revisions of the tanakh under Solomon and the priesthood.
Furthermore Christian theology and ethics is very different from Jewish, which is why it was seen as a radical, revolutionary movement by the Jews at the time, and it is, after all, it's own religion and not a sect of Judaism.
