Why Is There So Much Suffering In Our World

This world we live in experiences death and disaster on a daily basis. There is no person on earth who either has not experiences health problems, or who has not had a family member who suffers from ill health. Pandemics such as the coronavirus affect every one, even those who do not get the disease personally are still being forces to get the covid injections, wear masks with many businesses closing down. There are hundreds of diseases that cause so much pain and suffering.

Then there are the constant wars and terror attacks that are becoming increasingly common. These events also affect many people and cause fear and anxiety. Today, there is an estimated 110 armed conflicts around the world. Some of these conflicts make the headlines, many do not. Some of them have started only recently, while others have been simmering for more than 50 years.

We also see natural disasters occurring in many parts of the world. Volcanoes, earthquakes, floods, fires and droughts. These events cause a great deal of suffering and death in diverse places all around the world.

When you consider the impact of all these troubles the world is experiencing today, you can see that there is no one who is not affected in one way or another. We all suffer from these things every day.

This is why all these troubles lead many people to ask the big question about God. If God is all powerful, sovereign over all the earth, always present in all areas of the world and has the ability to prevent these disasters, then why does he allow these events to continue to happen? If he can prevent these things from happening, then why does he not stop them? Why does he allow sickness to affect millions of people? Why does he allow droughts, fire, flood and famines to kill millions of people each year? Is this because he cannot do anything about them?
