  20 Then Job arose and tore his robe and shaved his head and fell on the ground and worshiped. 21 And he said, “Naked I came from my mother’s womb, and naked shall I return. The Lord gave, and the Lord has taken away; blessed be the name of the Lord.”    1 Thessalonians 5:18    English Standard Version (ESV)  18 give thanks in all circumstances; for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus for you.

“I remember speaking to Czechoslovakian pastors who had been imprisoned during the era of Stalin in Moscow and Novotny in Prague and they told me, ‘In prison, we learned not to ask ‘Why?’ but just to say, ‘Praise the Lord.’”
