Joy in pain?

The reason our hearts are in pain is

Not because the things that we are suffering

But because we think that God is silent when we cry out to Him

And He is hiding His face from us.

But even when our hearts are in pain, we Christians rejoice

Because we trust in the Lord.

Since we have firm faith in the Lord that

He will fulfill His promise to us in His time and in His way,

We give thanks to God and praise Him in faith as we rejoice in the Lord.

(Ps. 13)

(As I read Mark D. Futato’s "The Book of Psalms")
