Faith and doubts
Why people suffer
The question of why pain exists and why it happens to good people.
What the Bible can tell you
But he said to her, "You speak as one of the foolish women would speak. What? Shall we receive good at the hand of God, and shall we not receive evil?" In all this Job didn't sin with his lips.
Job 2:10
For I consider that the sufferings of this present time are not worthy to be compared with the glory which will be revealed toward us.
Romans 8:18
Many are the afflictions of the righteous, but the LORD delivers him out of them all.
Psalms 34:19
A human reading
There is no simple answer to suffering, and the Bible does not try to give one with a single sentence. Job asked these questions and received presence, not easy explanations. You can ask without having to solve everything.
