As a result, uncertainty, anger and resentment have reared their ugly heads!
Pain, sadness and anxiousness seem to prevail.
Beautiful sunrises remind me of God's mercies and how they never end.

25The Lord is good to those who wait hopefully and expectantly for Him, to those who seek Him [inquire of and for Him and require Him by right of necessity and on the authority of God's word].
26It is good that one should hope in and wait quietly for the salvation (the safety and ease) of the Lord
