Bad things happen to good people too. Learn to accept adversity too

Matthew 5:44-45
44 But I say to you, love your enemies, bless those who curse you, do good to those who hate you, and pray for those who spitefully use you and persecute you, 45 that you may be sons of your Father in heaven; for He makes His sun rise on the evil and on the good, and sends rain on the just and on the unjust.

God allows trials and tribulation in our lives to make us better people. Do not look at it as punishment for what you did or failed to do. Rain (Bad things) falls on the faithful and unfaithful too.  

Job 2:9-10
9 Then his wife said to him, “Do you still hold fast to your integrity? Curse God and die!”

10 But he said to her, “You speak as one of the foolish women speaks. Shall we indeed accept good from God, and shall we not accept adversity?” In all this Job did not sin with his lips. 

Shall we indeed accept good from God, and shall we not accept adversity?
