Easy Frods, you use that godly magic to create species of life which are not entirely parasitic upon each other. That would eliminate just about all suffering one is likely to invoke. Maybe create a cosmos habitable to life in it's entirety so you don't have to invoke death as population control....oh, and personally, as the creator, you avoid douche moves. No competition for resources would go a long way to reducing conflict, a hell of a long way. You could, of course, being god, put the icing on the cake by creating species of life that were not prone to violence in the absence of competition. Clearly however, you feel that all of this is asking too much from a god.
