We are accounted as sheep for the slaughter daily and so many feel it is done because they are being punish. God is not punishing anyone, trials come to teach us and keep us strong on and in our daily journey with him. The main keys for us is faith, trust, prayer, bible study, If we keep open communication with the father he will tell us what is going on in our lives. Yet if he does not tell us we trust him in everything. No Punishment only lessons.
