Why Bad Things Happen

Has anything bad ever happened to you or someone you know, and you couldn’t understand why God would allow that bad thing to happen? Maybe your dad lost his job, or your parents are going through a divorce. Maybe your friend’s sister got in a horrible accident, or your new baby brother was born with a disability. All of these things are terrible and cause you hurt. Do you ever wonder, “Why, God? Why are you picking on me and letting these awful things happen? Do you even care?” But God does care and He loves you very much. Everyone goes through times of suffering in his or her life. But it’s ok to ask God questions. In fact, your questions are very important to God. Click here to read a booklet written by Joni that will help answer some of those tough unanswered questions. Or ask your parents for permission to email us at [email protected] with your name and address, and we’ll send you your own booklet! It’s also available in Spanish!
