recently my friend's little sister died..2 years old and got strangled while trying to get out of her crib.. She got caught or something i'm not really sure how..But she asked me why would God ever EVER take a 2 year old girl away?
And i have no idea could any of you guys help me out on answering this question
I have some ideas that might help both you and your friend.
first of all in all the sripture given to man, a common verser is repeted over and over agian, That God is our Heveanly Father and if we "ask" we will "recive". if you want to understand God's plan one must ask him himself; God will anwser your (and your friend) prayer. talk to him as if he was really there (for he is). also it would be helpful if you understood that God tends for us to learn things and to grow from all experinces. seek to learn the lessons from this trail. Trust God knows what he is doing.
I know that God lives and loves each of us, we can return to him after our time here on earth.

I know that doesn't really help.
Maybe the best answer you can give her is simply, "I don't know."
When I was a kid, God took my cousin, who wasn't yet 2 years old. I asked myself that same question.
"I don't know, but I'll find out some day" is the best way I can answer myself. Why? That's the only answer I'm certain of.

Pray and read the Bible. Tell her that Heaven is so much better than here and that her sister is so much better off. Going to church and support groups usually help, but i hope she doesn't blame God for the loss, because, well, it might sound sappy but her little sister wasn't lost. she's just not physically here anymore. i hope that helped. :) [ 9BigBrat6's advice column | Ask 9BigBrat6 A Question ]

But you know what? We live another life in the after life. Well, thats what I believe. Tell your friend that I'll pray for her and her family.
HOPE I HELPED YOU!!! :)

We live another life in the after life. Atleast thats what I believe. Tell her that. Her sister, herself and her family are in my prayers.

It's the devil that causes bad things like this to happen.
And yes, God probably did have the power to stop this. But none of us understand him completely. We just have to trust that what does happen to us is all part of his plan.
Tell your friend that I'm sorry for her loss and for her family's loss.
