Jeremiah had it rough, but this inspires me.
Lamentations 3
1 I am [Jeremiah] the man who has seen affliction
Because of the rod of His wrath.
2 He has led me and made me walk
In darkness and not in light.
3 Surely He has turned His hand against me
Repeatedly all the day.
4 He has caused my flesh and my skin to waste away;
He has shattered my bones.
...
21 But this I call to mind,
Therefore I have hope.
