Where is God in the COVID–19?

Suffering is part of lifeand it has a purpose.

C.S. Lewis once wrote in a letter to a good friend, I could well believe that it is Gods intention, since we have refused milder remedies, to compel us into unity, by persecution even and hardship. Satan is without doubt nothing else than a hammer in the hand of a benevolent and severe God. For all, either willingly or unwillingly, do the will of God: Judas and Satan as tools or instruments, John and Peter as sons.
