I will ask my pastor the question as another person here suggested. Still uncertain about question in first post.
Being omnipotent means He has the power to control everything (within His own nature), but that doesn't mean He does. He chose to give us free will and let us make our own choices. He chose to create a natural world where things happen as they will.
Yes, ask your pastor.

One way or another, things will all work out in the big picture. We don't know how, but we do know that God would never have created the universe if it wasn't all meant to be for ultimate good in the end.
You really need to see the difference between "know" and "believe".
