Read John 7-9
John 9:2 says, "And his disciples asked him, saying, Master, who did sin, this man, or his parents, that he was born blind?" So many of the things that happen to us, to our loved ones, and even to strangers seem like they must be punishments for something. They’re so hurtful, so terrible that there must have been a way to have prevented it—at least something we can do to keep such things from ever happening again.
We’re ready to repent, but we can’t think what we need to repent from. We’re ready to change, but we don’t know what changes we need to make.
But when those terrible things happen, it may not be a punishment. It may not even be a consequence for an action taken. Sometimes those terrible things just happen and what we need is strength from the Lord to see us through and comfort from Him to carry us through to the other side of the pain.
