He answered: “It is only to God that I complain of my deep grief and my sorrow: for I know, from God, something that you do not know.  

  — Yusuf 12:86 as rendered by Muhammad Asad

قَالَ إِنَّمَا أَشْكُو بَثِّي وَحُزْنِي إِلَى اللَّهِ وَأَعْلَمُ مِنَ اللَّهِ مَا لَا تَعْلَمُونَ

IslamAwakened has been asked to add commentary to our Today’s Ayat
This is today’s comment:

The Qur’an shares several stories of grief
One of the messages in these stories is to accept our own grief and sadness
After hardship there is ease – yet we sometimes forget the two go together
Even the prophets sometimes despaired, yet the answer was always near

This is an OPINION. 
We must always read the verse(s) for ourselves!
