Well, as simply as I can put this, is just like Day 14 in the "Purpose Driven Life". There will come a time or two, maybe more, when things don't go right and you'll feel the snakebite entering your veins. Again, it's like Disturbed's "Prayer", living won't always be easy.
Let's go to Psalm 137:4-6 "How can we sing songs songs of the LORD while in a foreign land? If I forget you, O Jerusalem, may my right hand forget its skill. May my tongue cling to the roof my mouth if I don't remember you, if I do not consider Jerusalem my highest joy." Barren, in this case, is anywhere God's name isn't known or those who wanna silence His name.
Still, how to be happy in the midst of all this chaos? Simple, just believe anyway. It may not be easy, but if doing so even when you don't feel like it is worship that'll please God.
Moving right along to Psalm 63:1 "O God, you are my God, earnestly I seek you; my soul thirst for you, in a dry and weary land where there is no water." Yet, it was this, the rest of David's psalms, and his faith that had God calling him "a man after His own heart".
Once again, we'll have our troubled times and such trials to test our faith, but all I can say is just believe anyway. God is more concerned with our response to fear than the fear itself. That is, don't be building any golden calves to face your fears to.
