Why, God, Why?
Our hearts are broken when we see atrocities inflicted on innocent people. Wars force thousands of refugees - old men, children and families - out of their homes. Teenagers coldly murder their classmates. Toddlers disappear, never to be seen again.
In the midst of this world's carnage, it is only natural to wonder, Where is God in all this? Why doesn't He do something? Why does He allow this to happen?
As difficult as it is to understand, God has already done something. He sent His son to save us. But Jesus Christ did not enter this world to thwart criminals or overthrow governments; He came to change our hearts.
Even the people of Jesus' day thought their Savior came to liberate them from oppression. But He did not. He told them, "My kingdom is not of this world" (John 18:36).
This world - with its godless wars, murders and inhumanity - exists under the dominion of Satan. Though the Bible states the absolute authority of God, Satan has been given much power, and the evil in this world is under his control.
That's why the apostle Paul assserted, "For our struggle is not against flesh and blood, but against the powers of this dark world and against the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly realms." (Ephesians 6:12)
Satan was the first one in history to openly defy God. He also started a philosophy of life that was self centered and rejected God's authority. That was the birth of sin.
Sin assumes a self defined life plan rather than one purposed by the Creator. Today sin affects the entire human race. We are all guilty of it, and therefore all deserve sin's penalty.
"For the wages of sin is death." (Romans 6:23)
According to the Bible, peace on earth will not come until after God's judgement and Christ's second coming. But peace with God is available now for all who faithfully accept Jesus' death as payment for their sin.
"Since we have been justified through faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ." (Romans 5:1)
God permitted evil to be present in this world. He gave all of us, including Satan, free will. He allows us to choose whether or not we follow Him. If God forced us to love and worship Him, would that truly be love????? He lets us make up our own minds.......
Satan and death were defeated when Jesus Christ rose again after dying on the cross. Satan has no reprieve. But, you still have a chance !
You can come to know "the peace of God, which transcends all understanding," by acknowledging the sin in your life and believing that Christ's death on the cross paid sin's penalty for you and that His resurrection offers you new life.
We will never know all the answers to the question, Why God? But, when you open your life to Jesus Christ, He promises to walk with you through this world's troubles. You will begin to see the world through His eyes. He will begin new feelings insisde of you that you may not have felt for a long time, if ever..........like joy, peace, love and hope.......
Jesus said, "I have told you these things , so that in me you may have peace. In this world you will have trouble. But take heart! I have overcome the world !" (John 16:33)

Psalm 46
"God is our refuge and strength, an ever-present help in trouble. Therefore we will not fear, though the earth give way and the mountains fall into the heart of the sea, though its waters roar and foam and the mountains quake with their surging."
Yes, brothers and sisters, we shall gain strength in the Lord ! We see everyday like a normal day but God is actually working =) No doubt.

I've chanced upon some articles about sufferings of mankind..
(2) We suffer because of our own foolishness. We reap what we sow (Gal. 6:7-9).
(3) We sometimes suffer because it is God's discipline. "For those whom the Lord loves he disciplines, and he scourges every son He receives" (Heb. 12:6).
(4) We may suffer persecution because of our faith-especially when we take a stand on biblical issues, i.e., suffering for righteousness sake (2 Tim. 3:12). Of course, all of these do not apply at the same time. All suffering is not, for instance, a product of our own foolishness, self-induced misery, or sin. It is true, however, that rarely does suffering not reveal areas of need, areas of weakness, and wrong attitudes that need to be removed like dross in the gold-refining process (cf. 1 Pet. 1:6-7). In this you greatly rejoice, even though now for a little while, if necessary, you have been distressed by various trials, that the proof of your faith, being more precious than gold which is perishable, even though tested by fire, may be found to result in praise and glory and honor at the revelation of Jesus Christ; (1 Peter 1:6-7)

Suffering Defined
What are these bends in the road that God puts in the path of life that we are to carefully consider? Simply stated, suffering is anything which hurts or irritates. In the design of God, it is also something to make us think. It is a tool God uses to get our attention and to accomplish His purposes in our lives in a way that would never occur without the trial or irritation. Illustrations of Suffering "It may be cancer or a sore throat. It may be the illness or loss of someone close to you. It may be a personal failure or disappointment in your job or school work. It may be a rumor that is circulating in your office or your church, damaging your reputation, bringing you grief and anxiety."1 It can be anything that ranges from something as small and irritating as the bite of a mosquito to facing a lion in the lions' den as did Daniel (Dan. 6).
General Causes of Suffering
(1) We suffer because we live in a fallen world where sin reigns in the hearts of men.(2) We suffer because of our own foolishness. We reap what we sow (Gal. 6:7-9).
(3) We sometimes suffer because it is God's discipline. "For those whom the Lord loves he disciplines, and he scourges every son He receives" (Heb. 12:6).
(4) We may suffer persecution because of our faith-especially when we take a stand on biblical issues, i.e., suffering for righteousness sake (2 Tim. 3:12). Of course, all of these do not apply at the same time. All suffering is not, for instance, a product of our own foolishness, self-induced misery, or sin.

WORRY?
Matthew 6:25-34
"Therefore I tell you, do not worry about your life, what you will eat or drink; or about your body, what you will wear. Is not life more important than food, and the body more important than clothes? Look at the birds of the air; they do not sow or reap or store away in barns, and yet your heavenly Father feeds them. Are you not much more valuable than they? Who of you by worrying can add a single hour to his life? "And why do you worry about clothes? See how the lilies of the field grow. They do not labor or spin. Yet I tell you that not even Solomon in all his splendor was dressed like one of these. If that is how God clothes the grass of the field, which is here today and tomorrow is thrown into the fire, will he not much more clothe you, O you of little faith? So do not worry, saying, 'What shall we eat?' or 'What shall we drink?' or 'What shall we wear?' For the pagans run after all these things, and your heavenly Father knows that you need them. But seek first his kingdom and his righteousness, and all these things will be given to you as well. Therefore do not worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will worry about itself. Each day has enough trouble of its own."
