Faith in God offers no insurance against tragedy. Nor does it offer insurance against feelings of doubt and betrayal. If anything, being a Christian complicates the issue.

But if you believe in a world ruled by a powerful God who loves you tenderly, then it makes an awful difference. — Philip Yancey
