one thing i don't understand bout god/christianity

RE: one thing i don't understand bout god/christianity
One thing I was referred a lot as a chrisitan when struggling, the story of Job.....check this out

Iin a quick summary, Job was a guy who was super faithful to the Lord, then god made a bet with satan (lol?) that if Job's life wasn't so blessed, he wouldn't be so faithful......So God said "CHALLENGE ACCEPTED"

and killed his family, his livestock, etc, gave him bodily sickness, and Job was super faithful the whole time, but he was only human, so when it came to the point where he broke and was like "why god???".....God yelled at him for losing his faith....

on the plus side, he gave him back his wealth and house and stuff....but not his family, they got to stay dead.

This story is told a lot to people in the Christian community who suffer from depression, or just struggle in general.....
