Psalm 30:5 weeping may endure for a night, but joy cometh in the morning Thomas S. Monson It may safely be assumed that no person has ever lived entirely free of suffering and tribulation, nor has there ever been a period in human history that did not have its full share of turmoil, ruin, and misery. When the pathway of life takes a cruel turn, there is the temptation to ask the question Why me? Self-incrimination is a common practice, even when we may have had no control over our difficulty. At times there appears to be no light at the tunnels end, no dawn to break the nights darkness. We feel surrounded by the pain of broken hearts, the disappointment of shattered dreams, and the despair of vanished hopes. We join in uttering the biblical plea Is there no balm in Gilead? We feel abandoned, heartbroken, alone. To all who so despair, may I offer the assurance found in the psalm Weeping may endure for a night, but joy cometh in the morning. Whenever we are inclined to feel burdened down with the blows of life, let us remember that others have passed the same way, have endured, and then have overcome. (Look to God and Live, Ensign, May 1998, 52)
