How does one have faith in a merciful God when the world is full of suffering and evil?
"Why must we suffer hardships and disease?" we ask. Pain? Hunger? War? Adversity? Death? Misery!?...Our best philosophy cannot put these concerns to rest or ease. Dysphoria, psychosis, pathologies of the mind—subjects of psychology that are all causes of man's malady: the tragic end of these infirmities is suicide! But we're not without hope or God's compassion, as today we go on, heal, survive, live, and thrive as we cope; it's easy to lose hope when we are low and in despair; but we are in God's scope, too: this put your faith and trust in, and know.
