Do yall think its hard to be joyful after being sad? What do we think the Bible says about being joyful?

New Living Translation Psalm 94

19 When doubts filled my mind,

your comfort gave me renewed hope and cheer

So, when we doubt, which means to question that Gods in control. When we fear, when we are sad, when we are angry, God can give you comfort and hope and cheer! HE helps us to be joyful. Because true joy comes from the Lord.
