Where can I find Scriptures when bad things are happening in my life?

Question:

Where can I find Scriptures when bad things are happening in my life so that I won’t be angry at God?



Answer:

The answer to the preceding question should help with this one.  Again, according to Romans 8:28, “bad things” do not happen to the child of God.  It may at first seem “grievous” and not “joyous” (Hebrews 12:11), but in the end it will be seen to “work together for good to them that love God.”  It is also helpful to read the Book of Job, especially chapters 1, 2, and 42 to see how this man, who lived long before Christ came to earth, responded to very severe trials and testings, and what the ultimate outcome was for him.  Also, read the accounts in the four Gospels about the arrest, trial, and crucifixion of Christ to see how He responded to those “bad things” that were being done to Him.
