Joy is repeated often in the Bible. To be happy is to be contented.
To be able to laugh and smile in times of pain and suffering is the ultimate "YOU MUST BE CRAZY".
Our human emotions will follow what our circumstances are. If we're facing all forms of challenges, our faces will automatically show the stress and strain.
It would take a person who either 1. doesn't care (indifferent) or 2. knows how to handle the situation - to be able to laugh and smile while others are complaining and having their blood pressure shooting up.
I look at adverse situations from various angles:
1. God knows what He's doing.
2. I have something to learn out of all these awful happenings.
3. This will not be forever.
4. It's no use worrying about it because I will be blinded by my worries, such that I can't find the solution.
5. The joy of the Lord will strengthen me to go through it.
6. The people around me who are stressed need someone who is calm and level-headed to bring some 'balance' to the whole atmosphere.

The last one sound really 'new age'. But it's true how in every situation or company or group, you need a balance of characters to bring the best out of the team.
So, I hope this short note will give us something to think about and not WORRY about our current situation.
You're not ALONE in this problem. And it's really NO USE TO WORRY since you don't have a solution yet.
Might as well find the answer instead of wasting time and worrying about what you cannot solve.
So, please... LET GO AND LET GOD.
