Thanks. I have witnessed people, myself included, who get angry with G_D when he does not answer our prayers or condemn him for the bad things that have happened to us.

But as I have gotten older, I have come to realize G_D allows bad things to happen, sometimes for our own good in the long run. And sometimes we bring bad things upon ourselves by not following his commandments or letting Satan deceive us.

But whatever one believes, G_D is sovereign and will do as he pleases.

When God said in that famous passage in Jeremiah “I know the plans I have for you, plans to prosper you”, Read it in context

This is what the Lord says: “When seventy years are completed for Babylon, I will come to you and fulfill my good promise to bring you back to this place. 11 For I know the plans I have for you,” declares the Lord, “plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future. 12 Then you will call on me and come and pray to me, and I will listen to you. 13 You will seek me and find me when you seek me with all your heart. 14 I will be found by you,” declares the Lord, “and will bring you back from captivity. I will gather you from all the nations and places where I have banished you,” declares the Lord, “and will bring you back to the place from which I carried you into exile.”
