If someone else, say the business you work for, decides to make a choice that directly puts you out of work, that’s not God’s fault. He didn’t interfere with their choice. Now, God can work good for us and get us another job somewhere else, and he will do that for us, especially when we don’t judge him for our now negative circumstances. But it’s important to realize that God wasn’t at fault. He was bound by it just as much as you were. Sure, theoretically, he could have intervened and made things go a different direction. But he usually doesn’t do that. When we make the conscious choice not to judge God for bad things that happen, then, we increase our happiness level a lot. This means that when unfortunate events do come our way that we don’t feel like we need to get mad at God. We don’t even feel like God was at fault for allowing whatever to have happened happen. Rather, instead, we seek God for his comfort and his help in our newfound situation. This way, with this attitude, he can provide us with help to get us out of, or through, whatever we are facing.
