Humankind invariably suffers. One man who certainly endured enormous suffering was Alexander Solzhenitsyn who endured eight years in Soviet prisons and concentration camps.

However he is still able to pray: How easy it is to live with you, O Lord.

"How easy to believe in You.

When my spirit is overwhelmed within me,

When even the keenest see no further than the night, And know not what to do tomorrow,

You bestow on me the certitude

That you exist and are mindful of me,

That all the paths of righteousness are not barred.

As I ascend into the hill of earthly glory,

I turn back and gaze, astonished, on the rod

That led me here beyond despair,

Where I too may reflect Your radiance upon mankind.

All that I may yet reflect, You shall accord me,

And appoint others where I shall fail".

No uncertainty there.....
