Very often people will say, ''it was meant to be'', suggesting God's hand was in a twist of fate. How do we explain bad things, such as the premature death of a loved one? Was that God's hand as well?

Remember God is infinite and we and our understanding is finite....with that in mind, sometimes we go through trials to test our faith, sometimes God is chastising us for some wrongdoing and sometimes the things that happen to us serve as a warning or reminder to loved ones who witness the hardship.....so God works in mysterious ways and we have to just trust Him and accept our fates.

Yes, Yes and Yes. How could a loving GOD allow such things?
Simply this. There are laws that we are aware of and laws that we discover and laws we don't see or understand.
GOD did not intend for us to be aware of good and evil because it leads to all sorts of misunderstanding. We messed that up out of the starting gate of existance. GOD allows us freedom and allows nature some freedom too. Much like letting your kids go outside and play. One falls down and gets hurt and says. "Where were you Mommy?" Only in real life GOD holds the innocent in his hands and there is no greater healing and comfort then being in the presense of GOD. If you have pets and ever take them to the vet you will see my point. They don't know what is going on so they freak out. We do the same thing. GOD is on the throne. Bidden or not bidden GOD is with us..
GOD bless ya

The only fate I beleve in is directed by God but, we can make bad choices and cause bad things against God's will. I also think that when we pray for healing for a loved one, if that person is a believer, isn't God doing the perfect healing by taking them home? God does use everything for good.
God's thoughts are not our thoughts and we won't have all the answers in this world but, if we try to always stay in His will, why do we need to ask why?
We are worth a Son to God.

No. As children of God we are constantly at war with the forces of evil. If we are not careful and prayerful sometimes evil can get the upper hand over good. It is not God's will, but sometimes it happens either as a warning or as a wake up call to change our ways. If we really trust God we learn and grow from the bad experience.

This one is hard to explain, pretty much, when sin entered the world bad stuff started happening, for example, some guy goes into a store and kills a few ppl with a gun, most ppl will blame God, blame the person who killed them, he used his own free will to walk into to the store and use it to kill others, he created free will, he wont control us, he chooses not to, but i wouldnt call death premature, things just happen, God does have a part in it, he chooses their eternity when they die, all we need to do is pray and trust in him with all of our problems.

The Devil is "In Charge" of everything bad. God uses the bad things that happen to our benefit. God gives good things to His children.James 1:17 "Every good gift and every perfect gift is from above..."

It's God's Will, He gives us the freedom of choice therefore we choose our fate.

It is God's will most of the time when bad things happen. He's challenging us to see how well we can handle ourselves in desperate times. If you go along with it and know there isn't anything you can do, you can prove yourself to him.

God allows things to happen in our lives. It may be a generational curse,or payback for things that we did that was morally wrong.
