competing with Christ

I used to wonder why if Christ suffered on the Cross for us what were we doing trying to compete with the crucifixion by picking up our cross and following Him? 
But there it was, I am not a chapter and verse man, Jesus Himself said it so how was I to resolve that? If one does not have enough faith to accept healing then picking up one's cross and following Him seemed the only way for a believer to handle suffering. 
I do not believe God allows suffering. It is introduced by others like the prince doubter and is a way to deal with it if one does not have enough faith to overcome it. Healing occurs according to our faith, as Jesus said be it done to you according to your faith.
