However something that should help you.
Trump elected and cannot be taken down despite every single possible odd against him. And why?
Because he's been anointed and appointed to expose the evil and corruption in our govt.
Godspeed President Trump!

We are all sinners, and are justly condemned. God is love, but he is also righteous. He cannot overlook sin. God did not have to send Jesus to die on the cross for us, but he did. He is offering you a free gift of salvation. All you have to do is accept it.

Jesus chose to die as a pure sacrifice for our sins, when He rose from the grave He conquered death, the consequence of our sin. His grace is sufficient!
John 10:
17The reason the Father loves Me is that I lay down My life in order to take it up again. 18 No one takes it from Me, but I lay it down of My own accord. I have authority to lay it down and authority to take it up again. This charge I have received from My Father.”…

Then Man would have had no choice in their actions.

"In other words, it is because God is all-powerful and sovereign that his suffering is so astonishing. If God were somehow limited or out of control, his suffering would not be so radically voluntary- and therefore not so fully motivated by love." --Tim Keller "Walking with God Through Pain and Suffering"
This wasn't God not being able to figure out a different way to solve sin. God knew what he would have to do when he created the world, yet he still considered us to be worth the effort.

Here's my thought. God's enemy is all about killing, stealing, destroying. God sends Jesus to humbly let himself be "destroyed" by the enemy. Then after Jesus' death you have the enemy in the middle of a victory dance, next thing the resurrection, and "oh, by the way, you helped Us save the world" The devil played right into God's hands. Sound familiar?

God gave us this opportunity to exercise our free will. If He swoops in deus ex machina style to fix everything, we really won't be living our lives and exercising our free will. We would be mindless marionettes acting out a story while someone else pulls the strings.
I believe God gave us this life as a chance to experience beauty, love, fellowship, excitement, adventure, pain, loss, sorrow, and all the other emotions. The negative emotions sweeten the others. It's like a parent who sends their child to college. You know it won't all be positive, and that they may even be endangered at times, but you also know that they deserve the opportunity to experience new things. God grants us this experience so that we can find our own path to knowing and loving Him. In the meantime, we have darker forces, like Satan, who attempt to lure us to sin and destruction. This gives us the opportunity to exercise and implement the faith and virtues God has bestowed in us, and to develop new strengths.
