It’s interesting how the Psalmist confronts his sad soul. "Since God is in control of this thing, why are you so upset?" Then he offers the only prescription it needs for joy.
"Hope in God! He has it all under control!"
Psalm 43:5 Why art thou cast down, O my soul? and why art thou disquieted within me? Hope in God: for I shall yet praise him, who is the health of my countenance, and my God.
We might want to ask our souls the same question. You see, there’s no room for overwhelming sadness and fear in the heart of a believer. Give it to God. He’ll put a smile on your face.
