I'm reading a book by John Piper called When You Don't Desire God
Here is something he has to say:
"The fight for joy is the struggle to trust God with the burdens of life. It’s a fight for freedom from worry. It’s a fight for hope and peace and joy, which are all threatened by unbelief and doubt about God’s promises...It’s a way of saying that
we are weak and desperately need the mercy of God."
I have to think about this a little more.
