"1 O God, where art thou? And where is the pavilion that covereth thy hiding place?"
Then read 122:9 and explain how he is feeling -
9 Therefore, hold on thy way, and the priesthood shall remain with thee; for their bounds are set, they cannot pass. Thy days are known, and thy years shall not be numbered less; therefore, fear not what man can do, for God shall be with you forever and ever.
