Trust that God is holding us at all times

This year has brought much suffering into the lives of many. The COVID-19 pandemic and hurricanes are but two ways in which people have experienced pain and sorrow in their lives.
Why is there suffering? If there is a loving God, then why do people suffer and why do some people seem to suffer more than others? This is a mystery of faith; in fact, it is a scandal to the faith.
The Book of Job is the book in the Bible which more than any other book addresses the mystery of suffering. 
Job is a good man. He knows that he is not being punished. Yet everything goes wrong for Job. He is wealthy but he loses all his possessions and money. He has a beautiful home but it collapses and is destroyed. He has sons and daughters but they all die. He has good health but his health deteriorates and he is covered with painful, repulsive sores from head to feet. 
Finally, Job prays to God and he asks God that one word question which I think every believer at some point(s) in life asks God: “Why?” 
God does not answer Job. Instead, God asks Job: “When I created the earth, were you the one who told me how big it should be? When I established the seas, were you the one who told me how deep they should be? Did you place the stars in the sky, teach the hawk how to soar, or give the horse its strength?” 
Job then bows before God and says, “I will ask no more questions.”
In other words, Job says to God that God is right. That God’s mind far surpasses Job’s and, even if God tried to explain suffering, Job would not understand. But Job also tells God: “I will trust you.”
Suffering is where faith is tested. In the midst of suffering we may stand before God and ask: “Why?” There will be no answer, but will we, like Job, continue to trust God even though we do not understand why we suffer? 
We often do not decide how or when we suffer but we do decide what we will do with it. 
In the midst of suffering can we trust God loves us? On the cross Jesus asked His Father “Why?” “My God, my God, why have you forsaken me?” But Jesus, like Job, also stated His trust in God: “Into your hands I commend my spirit.”
Faith believes that God can bring good out of the worst of things. On the cross, as Jesus placed His suffering into the hands of His Father. The Father then transformed the worst act humanity has ever seen, the betrayal and murder of God, into the greatest act humanity has ever seen, the salvation of us all. Can we believe that God can transform our suffering as well? We may not ever see in this life the good that has come from our suffering but we are called to believe that God can bring good out of every pain. As the Bible teaches, “All things work for good for those who love God …”
When I was a seminarian many years I volunteered at a health clinic. Young parents would come to the clinic to get inoculations for their little children. Parents would come in carrying their 3 or 4-year-old in their arms. 
When those children saw the nurse coming with the needle, some would scream: “No, no, no!” They would look at their parents with a look that said “don’t let that stranger hurt me!” 
When they got the shot the children often would angrily say to their parents something like: “You’re not my friend anymore,” or “I’m not going to play with you anymore.” 
What could the parents do? The parent’s mind was far greater than the 3 or 4-year-old. How could the parent explain viruses or bacteria to a small child? 
All the parent could do was to hug their child and love them.
When God allows suffering to come into our lives we may get angry with God and say, in effect: “You’re not my friend anymore,” or “I’m not going to play with you anymore.” 
At those moments can we accept that God’s mind is far greater than ours and He cannot explain it to us? 
Can we trust God is holding us and loving us even in the worst of times?
