According to the Bible , No one is good.

Ecclesiastes 7:20 -Surely there is not a righteous man on earth who does good and never sins.

John 1:8 - If we say we have no sin, we deceive ourselves, and the truth is not in us.

Roman 3:23 -for all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God

Sometimes we are punished because of the wrong we have done. Sometimes we are being tested just like Job. But all the time we have to remember

Proverbs 3:5-6 Trust in the LORD with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding; in all your ways acknowledge Him, and He will make your paths straight

“Just when all seems to be going right, challenges often come in multiple doses applied simultaneously. When those trials are not consequences of your disobedience, they are evidence that the Lord feels you are prepared to grow more. He therefore gives you experiences that stimulate growth, understanding, and compassion which polish you for your everlasting benefit. To get you from where you are to where He wants you to be requires a lot of stretching, and that generally entails discomfort and pain”

~Elder Richard G. Scott

Anything good that happens to you comes from God, if anything bad happens to you it came from your own sinful actions

So children with terminal diseases have it coming? I don't think so.

I don't really think we can ever understand exactly why some things happen the way they do. Not in this life, anyway.

If a child dies from a terminal disease then he or she is a martyr for it was the will of God

That actually wouldn't make them a martyr. A martyr is someone who is killed because of their religious beliefs. I'm pretty sure that faith doesn't cause cancer.
