Of course, one asks questions of God at a time like this, but I am not sure that the answers are always easy to comprehend. I found a helpful word from Eugene Peterson, which may offer you some comfort in your own struggles. He uses the illustration of God 'kneeling' in our midst - of God getting down into our messy world and being with is in the midst of our pain and sorrow.
"God gets down on his knees among us; gets on our level and shares himself with us. He does not reside far off and send diplomatic messages, he kneels among us. That posture is characteristic of God." - Eugene Peterson
"He that spared not his own Son, but
delivered him up for us all, how shall he not also with him freely give us all
things?” - Romans 8:32.
Remember that God kneels with us in every thing.
