Tim Keller in The Reason for God on why evil and suffering isn’t really evidence against God.

If you have a God great and transcendent enough to be mad at because he hasn’t stopped evil and suffering in the world, then you have (at the same moment) a God great and transcendent enough to have good reasons for allowing it to continue that you can’t know.

Think about that one. I’d say this also has pastoral implications for believers who are experiencing hard providences.
