What is one practical response Christians have to the problem of evil and suffering?

  1. Prayer

  2. Isolation

  3. Denial

  4. Indifference

The correct answer is: Prayer

One practical response that Christians have to the problem of evil and suffering is prayer. This is because Christians believe that God is all-powerful and can bring comfort, healing, and strength to those who are suffering. Prayer allows believers to express their concerns, seek guidance, and find peace in the midst of difficult circumstances. Isolation, denial, and indifference are not appropriate responses to the problem of evil and suffering. Isolation can lead to further isolation and exacerbate the problem, denial ignores the reality of suffering, and indifference shows a lack of compassion and empathy towards those who are suffering. Christians are called to actively engage with the issue of evil and suffering and offer support and comfort to those who are in need.
