Why does God allow us to suffer so much at times?

God allows suffering because he has given humans free will, and as a result, some people choose to do things that cause harm to others.
Also suffering can help us grow and develop our character, leading to greater empathy, compassion, and resilience.
It is part of God’s plan for the world, and that it serves a greater purpose that we may not understand or be able to see.

Suffering also lead us to get closer to God and knowing Him more and also learning His words and purpose for our lives.
