Life is so hard sometimes.
        Why? What's the purpose? 

    I devoted myself to study and to explore
by wisdom all that is done under heaven.
What a heavy burden God has laid on
men! I have seen all the things that are
done under the sun; all of them are
meaningless, a chasing after the wind.
               —Ecclesiastes 1:13-14

     God has so arranged life in a sinful,
        cursed world that it disappoints those
        who seek satisfaction in anything but
        Him … That very frustration which he
        calls vexation of spirit … is the result
        of God’s merciful grace intended to
        shift a person’s preoccupation with
        himself and his works (the fruit of his
        own labors). Instead, the hope is that
        he may find what he seeks in God and
        in His works.
