Some people say that we are to have joy in every circumstance and while, yes, we are to worship God no matter what as he knows best for all concerned, we don't have to have joy in everything especially when bad things are happening.
Example, Job's family was killed and he was afflicted with terrible sores on his body. He still worshipped God no matter what but he was not joyful as he tore his hair out and ripped his clothes in mourning and then he fell down on his knees saying the Lord gives and the Lord takes away, blessed be the name of the Lord.
You can give the stock answer that everyone repeats that in the end he was rewarded with a new family and more material goods than he had before God let Satan afflict him. But I am sure that until the day he died he still mourned and missed his first family. Point is, it is OK to not be joyful for everything, Job was not but he still worshipped God anyway, no matter what. He never cursed God.
