One of my Rebbeim once said that Hashem doesn’t punish; He corrects. Whatever Hashem does is because He loves us and is for our good.
So when bad things happen, whether or not it is as a “punishment”, it is not because Hashem “wants to hurt us” because He is mad at us for not being perfect. He loves us and understands us and knows that we are not perfect and are trying to do the right thing. Whatever He does is good for us and helps us to be closer to Him.
