Why Does God allow Tragedy?

Standard

 

This is a short video asking some of the toughest questions that Christians face in the midst of tragedy.  “If there is a God, where was he when . . . ” Fill the blank in with any tragedy or natural disaster that has killed innocent people.  Often I find myself questioning my faith in the midst of tragedy and I wonder what “good” can possibly come from the bad that has happened.  At the end of the day we have to have faith.  We need faith that there is a God above that knows what is happening has complete control of the situation. However, I believe these tragedies are not caused by God because God is good and no evil comes from Him.  These can be very confusing things to non-Christians or people that are questioning the faith, but as a Christian, I urge you to have faith.  What are your thoughts on this matter?  How have you handled this type of questioning from others before?  We would love to hear from you.

  1. Ser du stjernene, liten, fra der hvor du er? Ser du me5nen som sipeles i vannet? Ser du at vi gre5ter? Vi har deg se5 kje6r. Vet du hvor dypt du er savnet? Fryser du liten – eller har du det godt? Sprer du tannlf8se smil over verden? Er du redd, er du ensom, kanskje savner du oss? Har du kje6rlighet med deg pe5 ferden? Kjempet du, liten, ff8r du reiste fra oss? Fikk du med deg alt det du trengte? Fikk du omsorg og lykke og kje6rlighet nok? Merker du hvordan vi lengter? Kan du hf8re meg, liten? Ne5r tankene frem? Kan du gi meg det svaret jeg trenger? Er du omsvf8pt i glede og varme og fred? I hvile pe5 dunmyke senger? Elskede unge, fe5r vi treffes igjen? Det er se5 stille her hjemme. Takk for den tiden du var for alt det vi aldri skal glemme.
