It's easy for us to blame God for our miseries and sufferings. Especially when a particular event could not be reconciled into our existence and that stops us from moving forward.
It also depends on your relationship with God. He is a friend to me. So our dialogues are also such. Like when God says, I have never seen a human being like you, and I sayI have never seen a God like you. My mom used to say, no matter what happens, don't ever curse God. Her relationship is more like a devotion mixed with fear.
Very recently, a US senator sued God. His complaint was something like this:
To seek a permanent injunction against the Almighty for making terroristic threats, inspiring fear and causing "widespread death, destruction and terrorization of millions upon millions of the Earth's inhabitants."
And guess what, God responded with.
"I created man and woman with free will and next to the promise of immortal life, free will is my greatest gift to you,"
After a traumatic event, there are two ways to look at it. If you wallow in your self pity, and say I don't deserve this and it could have been lot better, then you lose. On the contrary, say if you look at it as "thank God, it could have been worse", then you win. Easier said than done, this seems to be the correct mindset to have and the one that help us to move forward.
