Sometimes when worries and headache press upon us, we are quick to judge what God does in our lives.We look at the circumstances of our lives and then decide whether what He is doing is " right" in our opinion. It's really quite presumptuous but we do it just the same.
Where do we get our standards of what is right and what is wrong, anyway? Actually, our standards come from God Himself. We would have no concept of right and wrong if it were not for the fact that God is totally right. In reality, God wrote the definition of "right" ( or righteous), for it is a characteristic of His nature. It follows that being made in His image, we have a bit of an understanding of what is "right" even though we can't live up to it.
Abraham, who was known for his faith, believed God always did what was right, whether or not he understood what God was doing. When Abraham pleaded with Godnot to kill his relatives in Sodom along with the very perverse residents of th ecity, Abraham said to God, " Will not the Judge of all the earth do right?" ( Genesis 18:25). The answer to that question is obviously " Yes," for God is absolutely just. There is no partiality with Him. " With the Lord our God there is no injustice or partiality or bribery" ( 2 Chronicles 19:7 ).
The assurance that God will do what's right is encouraging to me, because I see so much injustice in the world I see so many wrongs I don't understand and can't change. But I can commit what I don't understand to Him, knowing that the Judge of all the earth will do right because it's His nature to do so.
Does that same principle apply to the events in your life personally? Will God always do what's right for you? Absolutely, when you totally commit your ways to Him.
A man once said to R.A. Torrey, " Sir, you turned your business over to God and it prospered; I turned mine over to Him and it has gone down ever since." Torrey replied, " If you turned it over to God, why are you worrying about it?"
Yes, if you turn your life over to God, you can trust Him to do what's right --- whether you understand it or not. Instead of you bearing all the responsiblity, it's now God's task.
When worry and depression try to convince you otherwise, ask yourself, " Will not the JUdge of all the earth do right?"

Dear Jenny,
I think that you will reach to the truth.
Also, I think that you have many questions.
Please, read what I will write carefully and I promise you will find answers about your questions.
This is the story of the prophet Abraham with his son :
[102] And, when he (his son) was old enough to walk with him, he said: "O my son! I have seen in a dream that I am slaughtering you (offering you in sacrifice to Allâh). So look what you think!" He said: "O my father! Do that which you are commanded, Inshâ' Allâh (if Allâh wills), you shall find me of As-Sâbirûn (the patient)."
[103] Then, when they had both submitted themselves (to the Will of Allâh), and he had laid him prostrate on his forehead (or on the side of his forehead for slaughtering);
[104] We called out to him: "O Abraham!
[105] You have fulfilled the dream!" Verily thus do We reward the Muhsinûn (good-doers - see V.2:112).
[106] Verily, that indeed was a manifest trial.
[107] And We ransomed him with a great sacrifice (i.e. a ram);
[108] And We left for him (a goodly remembrance) among the later generations.
[109] Salâm (peace) be upon Ibrâhim (Abraham)!"
[110] Thus indeed do We reward the Muhsinûn (good-doers - see V.2:112).
[111] Verily, he was one of Our believing slaves.

And, this is the story of the prophet Lot:
[160] The propel of Lût (Lot) (-who dwelt in the town of Sodom in Palestine) belied the Messengers.
[161] When their brother Lût (Lot) said to them: "Will you not fear Allâh and obey Him?
[162] "Verily I am a trustworthy Messenger to you.
[163] "So fear Allâh, keep your duty to Him, and obey me.
[164] "No reward do I ask of you for it (my Message of Islâmic Monotheism); my reward is only from the Lord of the 'Alamîn (mankind, jinn and all that exists).
[165] "Go you in unto the males of the 'Alamîn (mankind),
[166] "And leave those whom Allâh has created for you to be your wives? Nay, you are a trespassing people!"
[167] They said: "If you cease not O Lût (Lot)! Verily, you will be one of those who are driven out!"
[168] He said: "I am, indeed, of those who disapprove with severe anger and fury your (this evil) action (of sodomy).
[169] "My Lord! Save me and my family from what they do."
[170] So We saved him and his family, all,
[171] Except an old woman (his wife) among those who remained behind.
[172] Then afterward We destroyed the others.
[173] And We rained on them a rain (of torment). And how evil was the rain of those who had been warned.
[174] Verily, in this is indeed a sign, yet most of them are not believers.
[175] And verily Your Lord, He is indeed the All-Mighty, the Most Merciful.
