In the beginning of mankind, God made all things bright and beautiful. He didn't create suffering for man. I believe man brought suffering upon themselves through sin. Of course there's God in heaven and he always watches over us day and night regardless of our closeness to him.

The suffering of man wasn't orchestrated by God but by the evil deeds of a man. In the early time of man that's like over two(2) thousands years ago, Adam and eve were created and God gave them dominion over every thing on earth. God didn't create man to suffer, before the creation of man, he said in his book (holy bible).
In genesis 1:26 God said "Let us create man in our own image and likeness, they will rule over the fish of the seas, the fowls of the air and land, and over all the living creatures on earth", he didn't mention suffering, or attached suffering to man's creation.
In the same book of Genesis God also said " I have given you every herb that yields seed which is on the face of all the earth, and every tree whose fruits yields seeds; to you it shall be for food.
So God literally didn't include suffering in man's existence.
The moment man brought sin, suffering immediately took effect from that instance. Because he clearly instructed man (Adam and eve) not to eat from the forbidden tree which they did, and God cursed serpent for causing the whole thing and he inflicted hardship to every endeavors of man right from the moment they disobeyed him.
Now, the question is " if there's a God why there's so much suffering". We suffer because we ignore the things of God, we'd rather chose to abide with the things of the world i.e satisfying our flesh with what it needs.
In order not to suffer in life God stated and gave man his ten(10) commandments to follow so that we won't miss his blessings and dwell in his Glory. I believe there's so much suffering because we fail to search for the truth and obey it.
These are the commandments he gave man to live with in the book of Exodus 20:1-17 for us to have a better life on earth
Thou shall not have any other gods before Me.
You shall not make for yourself an idol. That's man shall not obey the things of the flesh.
You shall not lift up the name of the Lord your God in vain.
Observe the Sabbath day and keep it holy.
Honor and obey your father and mother.
Thou shall not commit murder.
You shall not commit adultery.
You shall not steal from your neighbor.
Thou shall not bear false witness.
You shall not covet.
believe there's so much suffering because we fail to search for the truth and obey it.
We also inflicts suffering to ourselves because we are very far from knowing the truth cause he said "I'm the way the truth and the life" of course the truth will set us all free from suffering only if we abide to it.
There's God that's for sure and he's watching over us and only if we can get close to him we'll enjoy having him in our lives.
Ignorance is part of the major reason why we suffer, adhering to the things of God would take us away from suffering. He also said in his book (bible) that " come to me all ye that labour in vain and I'll give abundance of rest". Therefore knowing all this scriptures and following them with faith that's if you are a believer will certainly take suffering from yours endeavors.
However, God didn't create us for suffering but we suffer because we cannot obey the simple instructions from God i.e his commandments. So I strongly believe if we abide to his words we'd have a peaceful life.
Therefore, there's so much suffering because we've failed to go back to our source of creation and we've ignored the truth that can set us free from suffering. And I also agree with the fact that God himself allows suffering for us to know him as Almighty God and run to him whenever we need him for salvation.
