I relate to Joseph when he was thrown in prison because he was wrongfully convicted and must have felt betrayed and alone but in Genesis 39:20-21, it says that God was with Joseph. I had a really low point in my spiritual life and felt betrayed by God and kept asking Him why these bad things are happening. But later I realized God is always with me. He has done so much for me and everything is part of His perfect plan and it might be a sign that the choices I made weren't part of God's will.
