Just because we are Christians doesn't mean everything is going to run smoothly...
Just because God could stop bad things happening doesn't mean He will...
We live in a fallen world, a world where many are determined to get their own way at the expense of others so it is virtually inevitable that we will face tough times...
But God has a plan for us within those times- sometimes he directs us to another place ( gives us a way out) and sometimes He gives a way to survive or even thrive within the tough times.
