My pastor has repeated this several times over. That if you were in-tuned to God you wouldn't get sick. Sickness couldn't hit your family and what not.

I think that is a load of guilt making cr*p, personally (sorry, but I get fired up over preachers saying stuff like that). Our health is not contingent on our faith. That is like telling a parent that their child died because they didn't believe hard enough or pray often enough or tithe enough of their income. We get sick. It happens. All have sinned and fall short of the glory of God. Jesus' redemption did not remove physical sickness from the world. Even Paul had an affliction that God did not remove from him. Was he "out of touch with God?" Of course not.
Faith is what gets us through the rough times. It doesn't exempt us from them.
