Question: God, why don’t you stop tragedies from happening (like natural calamities) or works of evil (i.e. terrorist attacks, wicked and evil people coming to power) that results in the suffering many innocent people?

God’s answer:

What’s the point?
You go your merry way.

Meaning: Even if God did, what purpose would it serve? Will it bring us closer to God? Will we acknowledge that God saved us? Will we repent and change? In the “bigger picture of salvation”, what good will it do? It must be pointed out that it is actually when these events occur that we remember God and pray for his protection.

Question: God, this seems to be a cold and unfeeling answer?

God’s answer:

It’s all relative. I AM a big picture God.

Question: So, what the use of us praying to you to prevent or stop these things from happening?

God’s answer:

Prayers of the Faithful
I AM answering your prayers but not in the way you want Me too.

Which one of you would hand his son a stone when he asks for a loaf of bread or a snake when he asks for a fish? (Matthew 7:9-10)

1725

For my thoughts are not your thoughts, nor are your ways my ways—oracle of the LORD. For as the heavens are higher than the earth, so are my ways higher than your ways, my thoughts higher than your thoughts. (Isaiah 55:9-10)

“God’s will be done”
Mean what you pray.

Question: Is there anything else you would like to add?

God’s answer:

Don’t blame Me. Blame yourselves.

Question: Please confirm.

God’s answer:

Greek Tragedy
You create your own drama.

Meaning: (in ancient Greek theatre) a play in which the protagonist, usually a man of importance and outstanding personal qualities, falls to disaster through the combination of a personal failing and circumstances with which he cannot deal.

God specifically uses the terms “Greek tragedy” because in these plots, “the gods” often intervene to bring about tragic twists and turns. God reiterates that we cause our own tragedies in our own lives and in the world in general.
