Suffering

I think the hardest question about Christianity is why is there suffering. If God is all loving and all powerful, why does he allow suffering? To say it is due to sinful fallen man is true but inadequate. Not all suffering is punishment although alot of it is. Some of it is to teach. some of it it is beyond my reason or any reason that anyone can see. Life would be alot easier if we new knew why everything happened. It's hard to see that God will take care of everything when all you see is your pain and fear. God is there. I believe that absolutely. I don't always feel that with my heart.
