How could this have happened if God is good? Does God not exist. If there was a God, He would certainly not allow something like this to happen. Psalm 116: Gracious is the Lord and righteous, yea our God is merciful Questions are asked on a daily basis by individuals who experience pain or tragedy. They question whether God exist or He cares for those who fall into tragedy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't blame God for evil.....look in the mirror. Man is evil! Bad things happen because of sin. It was never meant to be this way, but sin entered into our planet and brought about the curses and consequences with it. Fortunately for us, Christ entered the planet to pay the penalty and give us hope that someday we will not be victims to sin and evil ever again. For now, yes we suffer......but this is fleeting. Come quickly Lord Jesus! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We worship what we know to be alive inside us and everywhere in nature, as we're told is evidence of God, hoping to understand our place in all that goes on outside our immediate control. Our thoughts are not like God's thoughts. God's thoughts are not like unto ours. We do the best we can with all that God gave us. If we knew all about God would we be able to sustain ourselves in this world that is clearly limited by what we think it should be like? War,famine, genocide. Everything we pray to be saved from.

He promises His help. And He promises us trails that He uses to confirm our faith. Romans 8:28 NKJV http://www.biblestudytools.com/nkjv/romans/8-28.html 28 And we know that all things work together for good to those who love God, to those who are the called according to His purpose. I agree that we shouldn't blame God for the evils of men or of satan. I do pray that God use everything to His glory. Evil men and those filled with satan sent Jesus to the cross. It was used by God to be His greatest triumph to date. When the enemy comes in like a flood, God will raise up a standard against it. Isaiah 59:19 NKJV http://www.biblestudytools.com/nkjv/isaiah/59-19.html 19 So shall they fear The name of the Lord from the west, And His glory from the rising of the sun; When the enemy comes in like a flood, The Spirit of the Lord will lift up a standard against him. The Year of the Lord's Favor While this is addressed to Israel, it has brought much comfort and hope to me. Isa 61:1 "The Spirit of the Lord GOD is upon Me, Because the LORD has anointed Me To preach good tidings to the poor; He has sent Me to heal the brokenhearted, To proclaim liberty to the captives, And the opening of the prison to those who are bound; Isa 61:2 To proclaim the acceptable year of the LORD, And the day of vengeance of our God; To comfort all who mourn, Isa 61:3 To console those who mourn in Zion, To give them beauty for ashes, The oil of joy for mourning, The garment of praise for the spirit of heaviness; That they may be called trees of righteousness, The planting of the LORD, that He may be glorified."
