At a time like that you need to open these windows. Windows of Joy and Worship. I believe the two go hand in hand. But let patience have her perfect work, that ye may be perfect and entire, wanting nothing. The amount of joy we have should not depend on our circumstances.
Life is never always easy.
James knew this and we can see that from this scripture. He said we are to count it all joy when we fall into temptations. That they will help us to develop patience. These things have I spoken unto you, that my joy might remain in you, and that your joy might be full. No matter what the circumstances might be, if we get down before God and worship Him in spite of what is happening, he will minister to us and bless us.
