Unfortunately, this is something many individuals who suffer trauma do where they believe that it is God that is punishing them.

Often, the reality is that a lot of trauma occurs to individuals from other individuals and that has nothing to do with God. The idea of "if I am good, I will be protected and rewarded". Well, that isn't true because we live in a world of so many imperfect human beings that no matter how good one is, that person can get hurt. The purpose in developing a relationship with God is to pray for guidance and comfort, forgiveness, in our effort to live our lives and be a good person, but also have self forgiveness as we ourselves are never going to be perfect.
