If God truly exists, why all these wars, all these terrorist attacks? If God really exists, why are people dying of hunger, sleeping rough, why all these viruses? Why so much suffering if God presumably exists?

Have you never asked yourself these questions? If not, you've at least heard someone ask this question. 

There was a time when I lacked an answer to this question, and indeed, there was a time when I asked myself the same question, not to prove God's existence, for I already knew that He exists, but simply because I didn't understand why all this suffering occurred when I knew perfectly well that God does not want to see humans suffer; on the contrary, He wants all to be saved and to come to a knowledge of the truth. ( 1 Timothy 2:2-3 )

After years of asking myself this question, I believe, by the grace of God, I now have the answer.
One of the reasons why misfortunes occur on earth is that human nature is inherently evil.

Mark 10:8: Jesus said to him, “Why do you call me good? No one is good except God alone.”

Before receiving the life of Jesus, man is wicked, his heart is deceitful and evil ( Jeremiah 17:9 ), and wicked man can only produce evil things (chaos, famines, war, etc.). The Bible also says that wicked man brings evil things out of the evil treasure of his heart ( Luke 6:45 ) . You might still ask me that if God knows that men are wicked, why doesn't He change them for good? And you will arrive at two conclusions: either God simply doesn't exist, or He exists but is not good, because He allows evil to occur.

And here's what I'll tell you next.

Water exists, but why do some people die of thirst? Why doesn't seeing thirsty people call into question the existence of water? And if some humans die of thirst, is it really the fault of water's "evilness"? But Dave, what are you getting at? you might ask. Follow me and you'll understand.

I come from a country where some people don't have water to wash or drink, even though the country has an astronomical water reserve (rivers, lakes, streams, etc.). 

If people in this country are dying of thirst, it's not the fault of the water itself, but rather the fault of those who are supposed to provide access to it. I'm referring to the government, which is responsible for ensuring everyone has access to clean drinking water. Since this isn't happening, the citizens of this country are attacking the government, not the water, because they know the water exists and their only problem is access to it. Someone said, "The power of darkness is the absence of light." In other words, darkness is strong when the light is weak. God exists and is good, yet we experience the works of darkness—that is, all these misfortunes (wars, famines, terrorist attacks, etc.)—because no light rises to put an end to them. And the lights here are the children of God (those who have received Jesus as Lord and Savior) [ Matthew 5:14 ]. God has never been evil; the problem is us, God's children, who are unconscious and selfish, thinking only of ourselves, our own lives, our own families. We are the government that must bring this water to the people; we are the people God has chosen to intercede against all these massacres, yet we only look at our miserable lives—yes, "miserable," because of our lives, we allow the world to speak ill of God, to say that he is evil, and worse, to say that he doesn't exist. God is good and wants all to be saved; in other words, for all to become good.

1 Timothy 2:2-3: "This is good and pleasing in the sight of God our Savior, who wants all people to be saved and to come to a knowledge of the truth." Luke 4:18-19: "The Spirit of the Lord is upon me, because he has anointed me to proclaim good news to the poor. He has sent me to proclaim freedom for the prisoners and recovery of sight for the blind, to set the oppressed free, to proclaim the year of the Lord’s favor." 

My heart weeps when I read these two biblical passages. We are saved to save, freed to free, healed to heal. If God has saved us, it is for others, to serve others, but how many of us actually do that? Not only must we intercede for these misfortunes to cease, but we must also dedicate ourselves to the salvation of souls, for the more children of God there are, the more potential intercessors there are to end suffering. Moreover, a good person brings good things out of the good treasure of their heart ( Luke 6:45 ). Therefore, the more good people there are (the light), the fewer bad people there are, and the less suffering there is. God's solution for us is us. God is water, and we are the government; our role is to provide access to water for as many people as possible. How do we bring water? By evangelizing, by giving our lives for God's work, by giving our time to win and strengthen souls, and by speaking about Jesus to those around us ( Revelation 12:11 ). These misfortunes persist because God's children are not doing their work as intercessors and soul winners. Always preoccupied with our own lives, we become insensitive to the suffering of the world. Thus, no one truly stands in the gap to intercede so that all these misfortunes may cease.

Ezekiel 22:30 (SG21): “I looked for someone among them who would build a wall and stand before me in the gap on behalf of the land so I would not have to destroy it, but I found no one.” 

God wants His children to give their time to pray for countries and cities, to pray to Him to act, to protect, to guard, to feed, and so on. But His children are so self-centered that they become indifferent to the suffering of others. No one wants to make God's priorities their own, when in reality, everything we seek will be given to us by God to the extent that we are concerned first with His interests. ( Matthew 6:33 ) I will end by asking God for forgiveness, first for allowing the world to speak ill of Him, to ignore His existence, and to doubt His goodness, but also for asking you, the reader, for selfishly allowing these misfortunes to happen and doing nothing, because your eyes were fixed on my own life. So, to the question, "Why do all these misfortunes exist?" I answer, "It's my fault; I haven't done my job." God exists, and if He was good yesterday, He is still good today and will be good tomorrow. ( Hebrews 13:8 )

Lamentations 3:22-23 SG21: "The steadfast love of the Lord never ceases; his compassions never come to an end; they are new every morning."

 
Perhaps as you read, you understood that God is not evil and that He wants what is best for you, so you're wondering how to draw closer to Him in order to experience the good He desires for you. And I'll tell you that one day, I asked myself this very question, and I found the answer when I asked Jesus to come into my life, to become my Lord and Savior. And immediately, He came; He answered my cry, and from then on, my life completely changed. So, I'm here to tell you that it's possible for you too to ask Jesus to come into your life; in fact, He's just waiting for you. So if you want, like me a few years ago, to invite Jesus to be Lord and Savior of your life, I invite you to pray this prayer with all your heart: "Lord Jesus, I acknowledge today that you are not at all evil, and that you want what is best for me. I ask your forgiveness for having been against you. Today, I invite you to come into my life, come be my Lord and my Savior, I accept you now, change me and cleanse me with your blood and make me an intercessor. AMEN"

See you soon

God Bless🙏🏾
