Well given that in 1 Thessalonians 5:9, we belonging to Christ aren't appointed to wrath and the last half of the great tribulation is Gods wrath poured out full strength on an unbelieving world so as never seen before nor to be seen again, and if not cut short nobody would survive. I can't imagine a believer looking forward to that. This is a time so gruesome, evil and judgement are poured out all at once, fire and blood and darkness. You wouldn't recognize this world and still they won't repent but for a few tribulation saints who get their heads cut off.
Zephaniah describes a day that will be worst that the Great tribulations. Zephaniah 1:14-18.

"do not worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will worry about itself. Each day has enough trouble of its own." Matthew 6:34
Of course, there he focused on every day needs, but doesn't the principle apply in all areas of life?
We could worry about starving to death, dying of painful cancer, being tortured by persecutors. All these are terrible. What could be worst?
The great tribulation will be difficult, but we know God will not allow his people to to be tempted beyond what you are able, but with the temptation will also make the way of escape, that you may be able to bear
it. 1 Corinthians 10:13
So, we can have confidence, and we may boldly say, The Lord is my helper, and I will not fear what man shall do unto me. Hebrews 13:6.
After all, Paul was convinced that "neither death nor life, nor angels nor principalities nor powers, nor things present nor things to come, nor height nor depth, nor any other created thing, shall be able to separate us from the love of God which is in Christ Jesus our Lord.
Romans 8:38, 39
So can those trusting in the mighty hand of God.
