Many times in life we have and will get caught in situations when we ask "God, why is this happening to me?". We wonder why bad things happen to us even if we are followers of Christ, we pray, we go to church and life our lives according to His laws. Those things are not create by God, they can just be unfortunate situations or something we put ourselves into. God doesn't create bad things for us, but He allows us to go through things sometimes not because He wants to know what will happen (since He already knows it all) but to show us things and to make us stronger. Just as He did with Job.
That happens because we have a very strong tendency of seeking Him only when bad things happen. Therefore we need those things to keep us close to God. I'm sure if everything was perfect and there were not problem on the planet, most of us wouldn't even remember God, not even for a simple "thank you" prayer.
It is because He wants us to keep seeking Him that He created us imperfect. He wanted to give us imperfections so that we could have the choice to love Him, so He would know, when we decide to do so, that it is true love.
Which parent doesn't feel important when the kids send those awesome cards on special days saying "I love you, I need you in my life". To be necessary in one's life is a wonderful feeling, it's fulfilling and that's why God set up things the way He did.
God is wise and He wouldn't do things for no reason. Whatever happens, has a purpose to be, even if the purpose is just to force us to go after our Father and knock at His door at 3:00 in the morning because we are scared of have had a nightmare.
