Why We Shouldn't Procrastinate Repentance

Not necessarily. The song goes, "After the trials we will be blessed / But this life is the test." Look at the example of Job.

You aren't concerned about the ten people (either Job's children or his brothers and sisters the academics argue which) that are killed to test Job?

is there any way to tell if someone has received God's blessing, or will be judged favourably by God in death while the person is still alive?

I don't claim to know the reasoning behind them being killed off--is the Book of Job a book of fictional poetry?--but the point is, bad things happen to good people and often their blessings are not readily evident.

Hang on a moment.

You said "Look at the example of Job." as an example of what then? The example of Job is that God is willing to have 10 people be killed so Job's faith in him (God) can be tested.

What about those peoples' chances of redemption? Or did your god give them a free pass for the inconvenience of being killed so someone's faith could be tested?

I dunno. It was just an example off the top of my head--don't read too much into it.

As I said an example of what? It can't be that bad things happen to good people, we have millions of examples of that happening every day. The only other example I can see taking from Job is that killing people to test someone else's faith is A-OK.
