Yes there is a God Almighty, my Father in Heaven, Creator of all things and Jesus is my Lord & Savior. Amen..........I did not come to this conclusion because I wanted too or was raised within the Church, but because of events in my life and others that were so impactful there was no other explanation, than a Divine plan.
No, much of what happens in life we do not understand or can possibly fathom why it happens if there is a loving God..... because we live by faith, we trust the plan because we are only human with a human understanding. Maybe one day we will understand the why.
One feeble comparison is a loving parent (God) with a young child (we humans) that wants to run across the busy freeway to catch a balloon and don't understand why the parent won't let us. The parent sees and knows of the dangers, that we do not..........until we are older and more mature when we realize, atleast in part of why our parent wouldn't let us go.
Another example would be the old school method of teaching your kids how to swim by throwing them in the deep end. The parent is right there if any real danger happens, but you are left to struggle to either swim or atleast keep afloat.
I look at it more as an insurance policy........if you are right and there is no God or afterlife or Heaven or hell, then when you die....that's it, It's all over, no big deal..........but if you're wrong and I'm right and there is a God and Heaven and hell, then there is a big deal. More problems than anyone can even possibly imagine if you're not right with the Big Guy
