Bebe's interpretation
Humans tend to experience a range of emotions depending on their circumstances. We feel happy when things go well, and we succeed in our endeavors. Life feels meaningful and exciting. When things go wrong, we become sad, discouraged, and even depressed. Nobody enjoys being on the negative side of life, but life is not just about our experiences; it's about how we respond to them. Hard times are a common occurrence for all humans, regardless of social status or reputation. The outcome of our lives depends on how we react to events.
As believers, we should keep in mind that the hardships we face in life are temporary and do not define the entirety of our lives. We should always "rejoice and be glad" in the Lord, even in difficult circumstances. Although our world is full of devastating, painful, and sorrowful events, our attitude towards them should be one of indifference. We must not allow temporary circumstances to rob us of our joy in the Lord. 
As we seek the Lord for deliverance, we should learn to cultivate joy in Him, even in our troubled times. Our joy in God during suffering or loss demonstrates our confidence in the magnitude of God's love to save and make a way of escape for us.
