God’s grace comforts after bridge collapse

Megan Rocker writes that her not being caught in the Minneapolis bridge collapse  (Aug. 10 column) evokes the saying “there but for the grace of God.” I have always been profoundly troubled by that saying. If those of us who avoid a tragedy do so by ‘the grace of God,’ what do we say to those who were devastated by it? Is Gods’ grace withdrawn from them? Did God turn God’s back on those who suffer?
