Sorry to hear about the boy. Events like that blow away the idea that bad happens for a reason, or that any deity does miracles on account of prayer.
And, about the OP - God explicitly states that Job did nothing wrong to deserve his suffering, and was correct to discard his friend's "wisdom". Instead it points out that God is all powerful, and does the good and the bad, and that's just the way it is. Apparently Job's suffering and forbearance brought glory to God. Well, halle-fucking-lujah.
