When tempted to ask God an accounting of his deeds to you - why things have happened to you as they have -
He says to Job,
Did you create the Heavens?
Can you control the weather?
Can you make it rain, or direct the wind where to go?
Can you make it cold or hot?
Can you direct the lightning where to strike, and cause the thunder to roar after it?
Can you keep the stars in their courses?
Therefore do not question the God who created all things, and who upholds and sustains them all by the word of His power. He orchestrates every moment of your life; and He always does all things well. He may never tell you the "why"s of your life. But surrender to your status as creature, and be content with your place.
Your goal in life - if you are His - is not first, to have perfect health, or a great retirement, or a job with no trials. Your goal is to glorify God here, now, where He has put you. To live your life unto Him. And by His grace, that is an achievable goal!
