God doesn't do everything, but He can do anything

Really? Then why doesn't he stop the killings? What on earth are you thinking?

God can do NOTHING unless we pray. Why? Because if He intervened without us asking him to, the devil would be able to call him on it. Satan (which means the accuser) would be able to accuse God of interfering with the will of men, or the plans of men. And God will never break any laws. He is not a law breaker. He will not even break his own laws, those he set into motion with his own words.

Your theology may provide you some comfort, but it is lethal. If God's actions are conditioned on man, then you make man more powerful than God. You have then, in effect, made yourself God. The first commandment says that "Thou shalt have no other Gods before me."

In addition, to question the goodness of God, based on your view of events, is blaspemous. You have no right to question His ways. They are past your comprehension.

It appears that you do not want a sovereign God. You seem to want a God that conforms with your will. As a result, you want to maintain your autonomy and control over the Lord of the Universe.
