discuss Why does God allow good people to suffer?

[Heatman]

It's not like I want to question God but this have been a serious worry for me over the years. I tend to see people whom I know to be good but they seem to suffer so much in life. It seems like those whom are evil and wicked have things easier for them.

Why don't God intervene immediately and never allow good people to suffer?

Because people think that they can live independently of God's guidance and direction. And that has been proven wrong.

Wow! I have fully understood your concern and it is something that most people have asked themselves including myself. But one day, I concluded that suffering is not a result of men’s virtue or their evil nature but rather a part of life. God may give good people a hard time, challenge them. It is what I see happening everywhere.

A philosophical question—some believe it’s a test of faith or a way to deepen compassion.
