There is an answer to the, “Why”, though at the time we usually don’t like it.
Blessed be … the God of all comfort; Who comforteth us in all our tribulation, that we may be able to comfort them which are in any trouble, by the comfort wherewith we ourselves are comforted of God. – 2nd Corinthians 1:2-4
God allows us to endure a little of what the world experiences so we can comfort those going through similar things but without the resources to survive.
Far from being abandoned, God is giving a purpose and life calling. This is, of course, easier to hear after the first shock.
Prayer: Father, I know you have not abandoned me but are, instead, clarifying my life’s calling. You are good and everything you do is right and I shall trust you.
Sound Bite: The things God allows are what I would, too, if I knew all the facts like He does.
