Pray and Persevere :D
Many people blame God for their problems when it really is their own fault in the first place... sometimes however it's a situation that is out of their control. some people loose jobs for no reason, loose family members into eternal life (or death), loose themselves to the stresses of everyday... but God is good, and I'm positive he tests us at times so we can give up our arrogance, our proud hearts, our big headed selves, and put our trust in Him by praying and asking for help, asking for strength, asking for patience, asking for love. Ask for anything and it will be given to you, just make sure you're heart is like a clean rag (it may have been used but it's somewhat like new now.)
One thing I want to remind people about is that God is not a god of the dead, but the god of the living! The dead have done evil willingly and are thus not alive, the living have left their evil ways willingly and lived commendable lives. But all were made by God, who is good, and has created everything to be good! We, by nature, are good, but the outside world (be it our parents or strangers or friends or celebrities) form us into the bad children we should never become. But it's not just the outside world, it's also through our own will. Because of our free will we are accountable for the sins we have done! We need to therefore do as Jesus has told us and repent! confess! and live holy lives!
Tragedies do happen, but they happen for a reason and sometimes it's not visible, but it will be sooner or later (here is where patience can be found.) But no matter what happens in our lives, we should never give up asking God for help, he knows we need help, he knows we can't do it on our own, but he wants us to humble ourselves enough to get on our knees and pray to the glorious deity who is God!
My brothers and sisters, pray always, love each other, do good to yourselves and one another, never grow weary of following God, follow the commandments, and in hardships don't forget to ask for help, for God is always there right beside you to give you the love you need when you feel all alone, the patience you need when loosing a job and searching for a new one, the strength you need when someone passes away, the help you need when answers are not within reach, and the list may be indefinite, but keep on asking, and the good Lord will answer (maybe not how you expect, but he will answer.)
