Even Job did not blame God after he lost his land, crops, and family after Satan tried to make Job swear to God after the hardship.

Praise! Not because the person was hurt, but because it is an opportunity for the glory of God to shine through in one way or another
Rom 15:11 And again, "Praise the Lord, all the nations, and praise Him, all the peoples."
1Co 4:5 Therefore judge nothing before the time, until the Lord comes, who both will bring to light the hidden things of darkness and will make manifest the counsels of the hearts. And then shall each one have praise of God.
Eph 1:12 for us to be to the praise of His glory, who previously had trusted in Christ...
Phi 4:8 Finally, my brothers, whatever things are true, whatever things are honest, whatever things are right, whatever things are pure, whatever things are lovely, whatever things are of good report; if there is any virtue and if there is any praise, think on these things.
Heb 13:15 By Him, then, let us offer the sacrifice of praise to God continually, that is, the fruit of our lips, confessing His name.

Whatever trials we face, it is an honor to always praise the Lord! It is one thing to praise the Lord when good things happen, but the God of the good times is STILL my God in the bad times! He is on His throne and as long as I know this I will live in victory! I will praise Him when the sun shines and I will praise Him in the middle of the storm! Let His praise always be on my lips. Let all creation praise the Lord! My God can deliver me out of the storm! He is able to take what the devil means for evil and turn it around for good! He is my deliverer and provider! He is my healer and comforter! He will give me the victory! Let everything that has breath praise the Lord! He is an awesome God!

I would do neither, because in Ecclesiastes the bible says, "for everything there is a time...." and "unforseen occurences befall us all...". We cannot blame God for imperfect things happening in an imperfect world. We are not in paradise yet and God has not eradicated death yet. So, as mature people we can expect that accidents and incidents will happen to all people, christian or not. And in some cases those things will result in death. But, if we are faithful we know that that death is not the end of the story for us. God promises us more to come.

I heard a minister tell this story once. A man died and his friends said God took him. When his work accident was investigated it turned out there was a sign saying not to throw a switch unless standing on the safety mat. The man who threw the switch wasn't standing on the mat wen he threw the switch and was electrocuted. This ministers comment was he noticed God didn't take nearly so many of them when they followed safety procedures.

I would do neither. I would instead blame the person responsible for hurting who was close to me.

Neither, Why would I blame an Imaginary force for something? Isn't that kind of a cop out. Things happen, accident happen, Sickness happens, Suicide happens. It's like blaming the easter bunny for the Tsunami, It's just a stupid concept.

I would do neither.
I would seek his purpose in adversity.
I've had some pretty crappy things happen in my life. But in all of them, after those times had passed I saw how they led me to people I would not have met otherwise or things that I could not have done later without those difficult experiences. Furthermore, by reflecting on the bad times in my life I can appreciate the good better.
In short, by seeing God's purpose in suffering, it makes the good times richer and the bad ones easier to bear.

praise God for Jesus Christ. God knows how it feels to have someone very close hurt.

I wouldn't "blame" God, but I sure would want to know why. Been there, done that.
