The Question of Suffering

3/7/26 The Question of Suffering 1979

Since God is good and all-powerful, why does He allow terrible things to happen to godly people? How do you handle unanswered prayers? Why did Jesus have to suffer and die on the cross? Dr James Dobson, author of When God Doesn’t Make Sense, tells how a pastor led his church on a 24-hour prayer vigil to save his daughter’s cancerous leg, but it was amputated anyway. In anger how could he continue to believe in prayer? He could continue in despair or let God be God and not try to understand. God doesn’t need to explain Himself to man! HE is the unfathomable God of the universe Who defies human logic.
