Can it (the word 'awe') be included in describing difficult times?
From Cambridge Dictionary:
a feeling of great respect, usually mixed with fear or surprise
As in:
I was too much in awe of him to address him directly.
and
Too much in awe of his father to make him a confidant, he wrestled in
the gloomy solitude of his own mind.
Yes, one can be in awe or awestruck in difficult times. Awesome: from 17th century church use meaning “profoundly reverential" to later meaning “inspiring awe", now we have a word meaning a feeling of great respect, usually mixed with fear or surprise:

"In awe of difficult times" sounds weird. Although "in awe of" means "great respect", it doesn't gel with "difficult times". Apprehension or dread are more appropriate in this context.
