Keeping you safe from the gang by getting you soaked instead of something worse...these trials are all part of our learning. I bet the next time you take a Bus, you will make sure you take the right bus and a valuable life lesson is learned, and your understanding of God has been brought to another level.
Questioning God's existence can lead to a higher level of spirituality, so always ask why, having faith that you will get an answer...and it will come to you.

I see what you are saying - just out of bible class and look what happens to you. I felt the same way once. But I learnt that God is nearer than breathing he is there with us all the time. We always tend to look to God for helping us, and we should realise that God is always helping us we just don't look at what we have and it always turns out to be a lot more than we thought. Be in appreciation as many minutes as you possibly can in a day, acknowledge Gods grace and with faith and trust let his spirit guide you out of all the puddles that we fall into. But if you have faith you will see that he will keep you dry!

The same place He is right now. Watching you and preserving your life by His mercy to give you countless opportunities to repent and receive His Son Jesus Christ as your Lord and Savior.
2 Peter 3:9 - The Lord is not slack concerning his promise, as some men count slackness; but is longsuffering to us-ward, not willing that any should perish, but that all should come to repentance.

Although my English is not very good, I'll try to answer your question. The most important thing about believing in God is that you can not ask that kind of question only when the times are bad. You must know that God is beside you in bad times, as well as in good and that only believing in him will make you stronger then. :)

Life isn't always fair, nor is it always easy—not at all. Sometimes, things happen to us that we didn't want to happen, and that we can't fully explain. In the midst of his suffering, Job cried out, "Yet man is born to trouble as surely as sparks fly upward" (Job 5:7).
But one of the Bible's greatest truths is this: God never abandons us when life becomes hard. We may abandon Him, but He does not turn His back on us. He is always with us and wants to help us, even when life is difficult and everything seems to go wrong. When Christ lives in our hearts, we have His promise that nothing "in all creation, will be able to separate us from the love of God that is in Christ Jesus our Lord" (Romans 8:39).
This is why I urge you to commit not only this year but your life to God. God loves you; He loves you so much that His Son was willing to die for you. Nothing you and I will ever experience can begin to compare with the suffering Jesus endured for us. By a simple prayer of faith commit yourself and your future to Him.
Then reach out to Him every day. I can't promise all your problems will be over—but I do know this: It's far better to face them with Christ than to face them alone. Make this your best year ever, by committing it to Christ and then learning to walk with Him every day.

Perhaps he was busy trying to save all the starving babies in the 3rd world. Why didn't you call on your personal angel for help? Or perhaps you should have checked your horrorscope and not got out of bed this morning?
NB - I am being sarcastic of course.

You were just learning lessons that we all have to learn in life is all.We have our freewill to make choices and sometimes we make wrong ones here on Earth.If you would stop and listen to wisdom coming from within your soul you could hear God speaking intelligent ways to you.He is always inside and around us so never fear anything.
Grow up.....a mud puddle splashed you guys,....that would have been hilarious...think of your accidental wrong choices as adventures and live it up.
The question is....where are the grown-ups?
