Dennis Prager argues that being religious doesn't guarantee God will protect you from suffering. He urges a Christ-centered life focused on what God wants rather than what you want.
People ask and always ask, you know, why did something bad happen to them? Especially people who have great faith in God. There is no connection between your religiosity and God's protection of you. I know that many believe this because if something bad happens, their faith is very much shaken. I, I, I was, I was so Christ-centered, you know, let a interested in knowing what God asks from me. What does God want me to do? Not what do I want God to do. You will lead a happier, better, finer life if you are guided by what does God want me to do than what do I want God to do.
