If He DOES have a perfect plan, then this INCLUDES whatever suffering we endure. If He DOES NOT have a plan, then He IS NOT God.
So it was God's perfect plan for a girl to be raped by her half-brother? (2 Samuel 13:1-21)

Or how about a more recent example, when 14-year-old Elizabeth Shoaf was kidnapped, held captive in an underground bunker, and repeatedly raped ? If his plan included those events, then He is responsible . You do not get to plan something without accepting responsibility if the plan goes wrong.

God DOES NOT interfere with man’s free will.

God is good, therefore His will only includes good things. For I know the thoughts that I think toward you, said the LORD, thoughts of peace, and not of evil, to give you an expected end. Jer. 29:11 There's evil in the world, but that is not God's will for us. However, God uses even those bad things and makes them work for good, to fulfill His purpose.
