Thoughts on "Why?" and Worship

Jesus,

Why is there so much pain in the world?
Why do little children suffer at the hands of those they should be able to trust?
Why do Mommies abandon babies?  
Why do Daddies leave?
Why are governments corrupt?
Why do leaders fail?
Why is there so much unfairness?

You gave us choice.

What glory is there in the worship of a robot?  What praise is there in obedience when there is no choice?   That's not obedience, that's doing what one is programmed to do.

You gave us choice.
You created us to worship and then you gave us choice. 
We will worship - But who?

If all men and women would worship their creator would there still be so much pain?
Would Daddies still leave?
Would Mommies still walk away?
Would leaders still fail and governments be corrupt?
Would life still be unfair?
