There is an excerpt from Joshua 24:15 that has weighed on my heart--"And if it seem evil unto you to serve the Lord...". These are the opening words of Joshua in the verse when he gave the Children of Israel the choice of gods to follow. At that time, the people chose to follow the God Who brought them out of Egypt.
I believe that people today struggle with following God because they view Him as evil for allowing bad things to happen to good people or good things to happen to bad people. Here is an old hymn sung by Brad Paisley called Farther Along that will help shed some light on the situation:
My hope is that you choose to follow the real God and put your faith in Him. The answers to the difficult questions will come down the road.
