Why, God? (pt. 2)

How long, Lord, must I call for help,
but you do not listen?
Or cry out to you, "Violence!"
but you do not save?
Why do you make me look at injustice?
Why do you tolerate wrongdoing?
Destruction and violence are before me;
there is strife, and conflict abounds.
Therefore the law is paralyzed,
and justice never prevails.
The wicked hem in the righteous,
so that justice is perverted.
Habakkuk 1:2-4

Lord, are you not from everlasting?
My God, my Holy One, you will never die.
You, Lord, have appointed them to execute
judgment;
You, my Rock, have ordained them to
punish.
Your eyes are too pure to look on evil;
you cannot tolerate wrongdoing.
Why then do you tolerate the treacherous?
Why are you silent while the wicked
swallow up those more righteous than
themselves?
Habakkuk 1:12-13

Suffering and hardship are things that the authors of Biblical texts were well acquainted with. Jesus Himself was well acquainted with it, "He was despised and rejected by men; a man of sorrows, and acquainted with grief..." (Isaiah 53:3). We see it consistently throughout our lives and even throughout the Bible. People crying to the Lord because suffering has become so unbearable. Why does He not intervene if He is all powerful? Why does He let bad things happen to good people? All throughout the Bible you see questions like this almost as if the question is invited. Believers should come to God with these questions. To me it shows that there's an acknowledgment of His existence, power, and sovereignty. How has suffering played a role in your relationship with God, whether it's suffering you've gone through or suffering you see around the world? In what ways has it strengthened your love for Him? I want to make this something readers talk about. I'd like to hear what you have to say.
