Question
so god permits acts of evil to influence us just so that we can find him .
if that is true then why not just ask us and if we dont want to then let us be. you speak of his omnipotence as though he is only that . i was taught that he was omnipresent so he already knows the choices we make . why then try to change something to which he already knows the answer to , why try to provoke change. if we have free will to do as we please for it is the gift he gave us then why do anything to change us by putting us in a situation where we could change if he or it already knows what we are going to say or do.
Peace
Dear Christian Quinones
Since I am not being clear, I suggest asking Melvin Fox a good friend and good Catholic. I think he might be better at it then me. He is an expert here as well and specialize in theology related to redemptive suffering and such.

Expertise
I am willing to attempt to answer any question. If I don’t know the answer, I will look-up or pass the question on to friends for feed back. Beside Catholicism (especially the social/moral and the Eastern rites), I am well read on Mormonism and so-called Modern Christian Fundamentalism. Also I study Franciscan History as means of growing in my lay Franciscan calling to holiness in Christ.
