There are no easy answers to this question. If God existed, He surely would not have let THAT happen.

Some of us may even have written God off because of the things we have been through. Whatever the particular struggle we face, the question of suffering is one of the hardest of all and one of the biggest barriers to faith in God. We might be facing illness, financial pressure, depression, relationship breakdown or be caring for an ageing parent. We have all encountered suffering one way or another. Our very natural response is to ask, ‘Why?’ ‘Why do these things happen?’ And if God exists, why would he let them happen?īut the question of suffering is also very REAL to us all.

Why is there so much suffering in life? Every day, we are inundated with news of wars, knife crime, bullying, traffic accidents, deadly diseases and the list goes on and on.
