I certainly do not have all the answers, but I believe that the bad things that happen to people are a consequence of The Fall we read about in the book of Genesis—the Garden of Eden. Adam and Eve disobeyed God's specific command not to eat from the Tree of Knowledge of Good and Evil (Satan).

You know, I was in a bad car accident a few years ago. Everyone says it should have killed me. But I managed to live with a broken sternum and some cervical issues.

They said that the Lord was watching over me. But what about all of the people that died that day in car crashes? Why didn't the Lord protect them? I'm still waiting for an answer on that one.
It's hard to answer these questions because I've faced a lot of sorrow in my own life. But even through the tears, I didn't turn away from God; I kept reaching for my Bible, and He helped me find my way through it all. And He still does.
