The book of Job addresses the question of human suffering. Why do Christians suffer? Is it sent by God to punish sin? To train us? Because we know God is holy and we are sinners we may feel that way. But we can grow in our trust in God through it and trust that He is love. God is love and does not send evil, but He is with us in the midst of suffering, sustaining us. We need to be God’s instruments of that sustaining love for those who suffer by coming along side them, being with them and supporting them, leaving questions of guilt to God.
