That doesn’t mean we pretend as if we like what is happening to us. It’s just that we acknowledge God is God and we are not. Even in the midst of our unchanging circumstances, we can still give him praise and glory. We can still tell others how frail and weak we are, while saying how strong our God remains. We can be content and even find joy in our tragedy, not because we will ourselves to be or we have some kind of extraordinary mastery over our feelings.
