Anyone else struggling with their faith right now?

Is he able, but not willing? Then he is malevolent.
Is he both able and willing? Then whence cometh evil?
Is he neither able nor willing? Then why call him God?"
-Epicurus

Quoting Anonymous:So, then again, I ask:
What kind of loving "Father" either allows his "children" to die horrific deaths? After all, HE is GOD. HE can do whatever He wants, right? We beg Him to watch over our babies-- our most beloved angels-- and He just what?? Watches as they are slaughtered??? He can cure cancer but not protect the innocents in this disgusting world?
Quoting mandy1017:,
God isn't the one who went in there and shot up the school! Some sicko was! Not gods fault at all!! You can't blame god for what people do!
Im not having issues with my faith at all!

Who created the devil?
Quoting brittney28:
As strong as god is, unfortunately so is the devil. I believe this is the devils doing. You can't blame god for the awful things down here that people do.

Yup. When I hear of children being killed, or parents passing away leaving behind children who need them, I can't help but BEG God to not let that happen to my family. It feels like the walls are crumbling down... what if I turn my back on the whole Christianity deal and everything in the Bible is true? I will go to Hell. Or what if God decides to harm my family because I pissed Him off?
This just does not seem right, or OK. KWIM????

I am.
I am struggling a lot.
I am "God Fearing"... I think the only reason I believe is because I'm afraid of what could happen if I don't.

He is both willing and able. All evil will be stopped when Christ returns.

God gave us free will, he did not just let those children die, someone chose on their own free will to hurt them. Think of every single one of the children who made it out of the school that day. Who says God didn't save lives that day. God was there, with all of the teachers who protected their students, and he was there with the ones who weren't saved, to bring them home. He is the one who will bring justice to their deaths.
