God grant me the serenity to accept the things I cannot change
The courage to change the things I can
And the wisdom to know the difference
Living one day at a time
Enjoying one moment at a time
Accepting hardships as the pathway to peace
Taking, as God did, this sinful world as it is,
Not as I would have it
Trusting that God will make all things right
If I surrender to God's will
That I may be reasonably happy in this life,
And supremely happy with God forever in the next

"Taking, as God did, this sinful world as it is,
Not as I would have it "
This prayer is obviously written by a free-willer who has never read Job.
Ever consider that evil and sin was allowed into the world for a purpose? No, God doesn't like it at all-- but it serves a necessary purpose.
John 17:1 After Jesus said this, he looked toward heaven and prayed: 2"Father, the time has come. Glorify your Son, that your Son may glorify you. For you granted him authority over all people that he might give eternal life to all those you have given him. ... 5And now, Father, glorify me in your presence with the glory I had with you before the world began. ...24"Father, I want those you have given me to be with me where I am, and to see my glory, the glory you have given me because you loved me before the creation of the world.
Ok.. so, Christ was glorified before the world began, and his glory is the task of showing the Father to people.. by saving them. Saving them from what? Evil.
Christ's task was laid out before the world began. If there was no evil, there would be no task for Christ that gave him glory.
Hmmmm...
