I have had to ask this question a couple of times. At the end I found myself dwelling more on the negatives and I was no better because my mind sank deeper into bitterness at why God would allow bad things happen.
No matter how bittered or angry a situation makes me towards God, I have arrived at a conclusion... God is love. Even in the storm and through the trying times, He constantly display His goodness and mercy daily.
At those times when it seems things are opposite, sincerely express your hurt, pain, disappointed towards Him. Cry if you must, express don't suppress your emotions. But never allow yourself sink into depression.
In time, I see Him coming through for me. What, when and how He does will defer from each one, but the last laugh is always for His beloved. Do not loose the mind battle, listen to edifying songs and messages.
The story is ending with you as the winner. Even if it was as a result of your own mistake, God will pardon and help you back up. Remember, satan thought he had Jesus put away forever. But his joy lasted for a moment.
Jesus rose again, you will also rise. You will be restored like Job. You will triumph like David, like Naomi God will give you a Ruth. It won't be over until you are declared winner. It's ending in praise.
Arise and shine for today is a good day to thank God for His goodness, mercy and love.
