Why Does God Allow Suffering?
Powerful wisdom on human pain and struggle
Do you ever wonder why we have to suffer through trials and struggle?
Do you question God when you are in the middle of a crisis, wondering why this is happening in your life?
Or do you question why there are natural disasters, why world hunger cannot be eradicated and why people choose to murder, manipulate and abuse others?
I know I have certainly wondered about all these things!
There have been countless tragedies in the world. We have seen more newspaper headlines than we can count. Many have showcased natural disasters, murders, abuse, and many other terrible things. We have experienced pain in our personal lives and wonder why.
If we could ask one question of God, many would want to know “Why does God allow suffering?”
I personally have been through many crises in my life — abuse, depression, anxiety, a friend being murdered. I won’t go into full detail here, but trust me, I’ve been through it. I used to wonder why God would allow people to go through such hard times and why He created suffering in the first place.
