This is something that troubles me and I cannot seem to get to a place of rest within my spirit. I believe the bible but so much doesn't seem true - such as Scripture saying God is a God of Justice and yet I see injustice all around me. I have also cried out for justice numerous times and yet still I see evildoers apparently prosper.
Take Nancy Pelosi - one of the most evil politicians yet why is she still alive? Why didn't she die of the coronavirus, or why hasn't God removed her - He leaves her here to continue her wickedness. I've seen this up close too: evil people who God could have easily taken out yet He leaves them to continue doing wickedness. I know someone who has caused so many people a lot of grief yet God keeps her here. I don't usually pray for someone's death but I have prayed for her death.
Can anyone share how they came to terms with what the bible says vs what they're SEEING?
God gave people a choice so many will do wickedness, and all have sinned and come short of the glory of God, and even hypocritical people claiming Christ.
But anybody can cry out to God and be saved, but that is not a guarantee they will not go through problems, but the flesh is temporary, and the saints have eternal life.
God's kingdom is love so we have to have a choice to accept the truth, but God is not responsible for the wickedness of people for they do that.
God rains on the just and the unjust for even the wicked can have good things according to this earth, but they shall proceed no further, but they have their reward on earth.
God will punish all wickedness so they are not getting away with anything.
Also it is the end time, and God is ready to end sin on earth, so He is allowing the world to have their way more than in the past, and will give the world 7 years to have their way for He is going to allow all people that do not love Him to follow the New Age Christ that does not believe in a personal God, and persecutes all people that keep the commandments of God, and the testimony of Jesus, and then He will end sin on earth.
And Paul said evil people shall become worse and worse, deceiving and being deceived.
God is a God of justice, but He is postponing judgment until later.
But there are many saints that question the same thing, and do not understand, but then they do understand.

Psa 73:13 Verily I have cleansed my heart in vain, and washed my hands in innocency.
Psa 73:14 For all the day long have I been plagued, and chastened every morning.
Psa 73:15 If I say, I will speak thus; behold, I should offend against the generation of thy children.
Psa 73:16 When I thought to know this, it was too painful for me;
Psa 73:17 Until I went into the sanctuary of God; then understood I their end.
Psa 73:18 Surely thou didst set them in slippery places: thou castedst them down into destruction.
Psa 73:19 How are they brought into desolation, as in a moment! they are utterly consumed with terrors.
The wicked are not getting away with anything, but people have to suffer their ways until God puts down sin.
