I am 12 and don't fully understand the power of God. No one does. But I believe everything. God gave us choice wether to believe or not. I believe and heres some info I hope will help. When Adam and Eve had the bad fruit in the garden of eden they were then banished into a world of imperfection. The garden of eden was perfect. There was no pain. When they were banished they entered a world of pain and suffering and they had to work for things. We also have to do that. Nothing can be perfect now whats done is done. The fruit was eaten and now we all have to live in this imperfect world. It can be beautiful with help from EVERYONE. But we'll still have to work to achieve. Wars: there are wars because there are disagreements which resolve to violence in this world. God wont go back in time and remove the bad fruit tree. Whats done is done. Illnesses: Again God wont go back in time. This world isnt perfect. It is full of germs and virus's its a part f the worlds many imperfections. We do suffer from living in a world with pain. But that is all a part of not being able to live in the garden of eden. Poverty: We do have to work to achieve we wont just get offered money. Life is how it is and we have to deal with it.

God isn't "Just watching." All the people that get better from illnesses got better from the act of God. He loves us all whether we choose to believe or not. Although this world is imperfect. God is performing minor and major miracles everyday of our lives. We may just not see it.

because God is omnipotent,we are more far from His understandings, everything that is happening is in God's plan and all we can do is to completely trust in Him.

That would contradict the bible, and the mentioning of free will. And we'd never learn much if there was some mystical force fixing everything for us, now would we??
