The Bible says, do not let bitterness take root in your heart.

When Joseph was mercilessly sold into Egyptian slavery by his brother and then tempted by Potiphar’s wife, he didn’t allow depression and despair to take over his life. When falsely accused and sentenced to prison, he didn’t allow bitterness to wither his soul.

James 1:2-4 says, "Consider it a great joy, my brothers, whenever you experience various trials, knowing that the testing of your faith produces endurance. But endurance must do its complete work, so that you may be mature and complete, lacking nothing." Great joy does not mean we are laughing in the midst of pain.
