This verse states that we mere humans can't determine why something (whether good or bad) happens to a person.
In context:
Matthew 5:44-46:
44 But I say unto you, Love your enemies, bless them that curse you, do good to them that hate you, and pray for them which despitefully use you, and persecute you;
45 That ye may be the children of your Father which is in heaven: for he maketh his sun to rise on the evil and on the good, and sendeth rain on the just and on the unjust.
46 For if ye love them which love you, what reward have ye? do not even the publicans the same?
We are not to judge, but to pray for those who suffer. Have any of you (like I have), said, "I wouldn't wish this on my worst enemy"? To me, these verses speak to that very thing.
