Severe distress

Reading a hardship without blaming yourself for all of it

A verse that names a cause, and another beside it that names pardon.

وَمَآ أَصَـٰبَكُم مِّن مُّصِيبَةٍ فَبِمَا كَسَبَتْ أَيْدِيكُمْ وَيَعْفُوا۟ عَن كَثِيرٍ

Wa mā aṣābakum min muṣībatin fa-bimā kasabat aydīkum wa yaʿfū ʿan kathīr.

“And whatever strikes you of disaster - it is for what your hands have earned; but He pardons much.”

The second clause is easy to skip. Most of it is already pardoned.
