So, I love God and I believe in God. And I believe God only helps those who helps themselves.

My dad has so much faith in God, even though he was abused and beaten as a child, up until he was 18. His whole life he has struggled with a mental illness because of this abuse as a child, and he's went and gotten help and it's just getting worse and worse. And now he was told he could have cancer. Why did God let this happen to my dad? My dad couldn't help himself when he was a 5 year old little boy. I know we are suppose to thank God for the good and the bad. And I believe bad things happen to bad people. and I know God put Job though hell to test his faith, but eventually he gave Job everything back. Why did he do this to my dad? or why did this happen and God didn't stop it? This is one thing that puzzles me. Is why God allows unhappy lives to go on.
