I don't think it is possible to totally understand God's reasoning for all the suffering that goes on. When Adam & Eve opened the door to evil, why didn't God just destroy them and start over again. Who knows. So, we're all stuck with suffering from that ongoing evil. We all learned early on that this world is f 'ed up and like the old bumper sticker says, 'shit happens'. I wish God would just step right in and prevent bad things from happening, but for some reason He chose to establish this current world system as we know it. At some point in my life I just accepted that fact. When I was a child and got hurt or went through some trial, I went to my parents for help and comfort. I do the same thing today with God. I'll never know the answer to the big WHY question, but I feel my acceptence in the way this current world is has helped me rid my anger towards God, and instead turn to Him for comfort during my times of trials. That's really about all we can do. Maybe after this life I'll know the answer to WHY.

Angelique,
Before my injury I really believed that there was a kind loving God, don't
get me wrong I still pray but I get so angry I have trouble with keeping the
faith. I can't believe that a loving God would make any of his so called
children suffer through this every day, I don't see his reasoning at all!
