The truth is that bad things happen to everybody. No one is immune. Jesus, the apostle Paul and others, all had their share of suffering evil.
At this time and for a while longer, the world will continue to be under the power of the wicked one, Satan the Devil. (see 1 John 5:19; Revelation 12:9)
The Bible tells us continually that we will have to struggle, suffer, and endure until God's kingdom takes over the earth and creates a new world.
Acts 14:22 Today's New International Version (TNIV) 22 strengthening the disciples and encouraging them to remain true to the faith. “We must go through many hardships to enter the kingdom of God,” they said.
How can we endure and continue?
1) Read the Bible daily
2) Continuous reliance on God through constant prayer
3) Meeting regularly with fellow-believers for mutual encouragement and support
4) Speaking about God with others
5) Obeying God's commandments so that we have a good conscience
It is not easy but one day it will all be worth it. May God's comfort be with you!

hey ! it often happens to me. I see evil happening everywhere. Its like nothing good is left these days. every one running for profit and have become selfish. these things disturb me a lot. i just sit down in a calm closed room. all by myself. my mind starts thinking of all the good people and good things in this world. then I decide to stay good and do my part for the world. I spread Love. That makes me feel Better.

Evil already kept the world under their possession. There is no peace actually all around us. We are all plunged in hunger, malnutrition, illiteracy, famine, flood, drought, ice fall, incredible infestation of injurious pests and insects, droping down the water level, extinction of indigenous fish, rice and other indigenous species like birds, plants, veggs dangerously. These all because of evil powers are ruling the world virtually.
And yes bad things may happen sometimes repeatedly. But time will come when all good things will go on happening repeatedly. I would say kinda evil like folly, unawareness, planlessness cost us a lot of misfortunes and sufferings. Not any other evils are living in us.

Hi friend, life is the combination of good and bad, we are in need to face both good and bad in our life. Some times we will face continuous bad things, but we never lose the hope, surely we will face the good in the near soon. Always i trust it and expect the good one in my life while facing the bad things

that is what I face and for that, I have learned that I should pray and ask forgiveness from God.. so I try to chant his name and make myself stronger with trusting to God and leaving things for him to judge. God does not want any bad things happen to us but we make bad things for ourself with our mistakes or wrong done... sometimes it happens that we really did not do any wrong that we punish like that but behind everything is a reason... God loves his creator the one he loves more, will suffer more and that is the way when we suffer our souls get cleaner and closer to God... so it is good to trust him and to not lose our faith. sometimes.. time of examination is too hard and some fail in it , it is good to keep faith and trust to him...

I believe that all things contain a lesson to be learned. Sometimes when things seem very bad I have to give myself a big talking to so that I can avoid depression. The tools I use are to stay in the NOW, look at the situation without judgemental thinking, and look for different points of view. I am not a God, I can never see all truths of any situation, I also cannot see the future. In fact my view at any time is very limited. Remembering this helps me look at personal challenges as well as those of our world. All I can ever do is look at choices I have and make the very best I can at that time.

Well, when evil wins the world, he will what he wants, what do I do? Jokes apart, but there's nothing anyone can do. No one can stop the evil. From your name, I guess, you are from India and you might be aware of what we call as Kaliyug. There is and will always remain the power of the evil against the good. That is what we have to accept even if it hurts. We are all fast moving towards the D day. I feel like everything gets over once and for all and there should be a new beginning, just as there was in Satyayug.

I'm ok with it. Evil can win in the world, as long as evil doesn't win in me.
This world is passing away. When it does, so will the evil.
As long as I remain true to the Lord, our G-d and creator of everything, I know I will be fine with him.
As for the rest of the world, that's their choice. Mine is with me.
Faith always.

Hi ajithlal: Normally I feel depressed on this situations but then I realize that this makes part of life and that we are in some kind of war between these evil forces. Where there's a will there's a hope. I tried to focus on the positive t6hings and the love we have.

When I feel that bad things to me and in my life. I have to adjust with it and keep my alive that, something much better and good is going to happen. Life is something like that we people do not have happiness at all the time. We people have to face it and feel how deep the troubles are. Succeeding from those troubles is the day you study who to lead life.
Go a Head
Face and tackle the troubles.
May god bless you

The evil himself is the king of this present world. Remember how he offer all this things to Jesus? It only means that he really claim that this world belongs to him. But we know the fact that God created heaven and earth, and He has the sole authority to rule them. Soon God will destroy all the evil things and will return everything in its original state. I believe that God will do that the soonest so I do not really worry at all. But I still pray for protection and guidance against evil.

When bad things happen to me. I talk to demons and beg them to abandon me cuz i will never leave GOD's side. I just cry and try not to think anything bad and let GOD's spirit upon me so that he will control me and not to sin again.

I will still stick to my faith for what the bible says that if the world is your friend you are against God.And it is predicted by the bible and you see it always happen even before from old testament till Christ was sent here in the world to be our saviour.. but God always win.. and in the end , when the judgement day come.. all evil will be sent to fire and suffer forever.Happy are those who follow God's law. because eternal life awaits those people..
