It can also be full of Bumps, Bings, Bangs, and Clunks!
There are many ways to deal with life's struggles and sorrows.
The best way is to cry out to the LORD, seek His face, read His Word, know His peace.

...3 "Blessed be the God and Father
of our Lord Jesus Christ,
who according to His great mercy
has caused us to be born again to a living hope
through the resurrection of Jesus Christ
from the dead, to obtain an inheritance
which is imperishable and undefiled and
will not fade away, reserved in heaven for you,
who are protected by the power of God
through faith for a salvation
ready to be revealed in the last time.
In this you greatly rejoice, even though
now for a little while, if necessary,
you have been distressed by various trials,
so that the proof of your faith, being more
precious than gold which is perishable,
even though tested by fire, may be found
to result in praise and glory and honor at the
revelation of Jesus Christ; and though
you have not seen Him, you love Him,
and though you do not see Him now,
but believe in Him, you greatly rejoice with joy
inexpressible and full of glory, obtaining
as the outcome of your faith the salvation of your souls."...

...4 "Rejoice in the Lord always; again I will say, rejoice!
Let your gentle spirit be known to all men. The Lord is near.
Be anxious for nothing, but in everything by prayer
and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be
made known to God.
And the peace of God, which surpasses all comprehension,
will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus.
Finally, brethren,
whatever is true,
whatever is honorable,
whatever is right,
whatever is pure,
whatever is lovely,
whatever is of good repute,
if there is any excellence
and if anything worthy of praise,
dwell on these things.
The things you have learned and received and heard
and seen in me, practice these things,
and the God of peace will be with you."...
