God causes every seemingly unpleasant and devastating incident to happen to us because he cares enough to enlighten us concerning, and divert us from, our own morally destructive and selfish course, the perceived harsh measures being defensible considering our innate immoral tendencies and obstinacy that beforehand restrict us. While in control of all things, God directs all facets of all supposed negative experiences into that which benefits us spiritually and morally. This means that though we may perceive certain experiences as vain or unnecessary, without them there would be no real wholesome individual growth and we would be of no real intellectual or therapeutic benefit to anyone, ourselves included.
1Thessalonians 5:18 In every thing give thanks: for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus concerning you.
Romans 8:28 And we know that all things work together for good to them that love God, to them who are the called according to his purpose.
Hebrews 12:11 Now no chastening for the present seemeth to be joyous, but grievous: nevertheless afterward it yieldeth the peaceable fruit of righteousness unto them which are exercised thereby.
