Paul says in 2 Corinthians 12:10: "Therefore, out of love for Christ, I rejoice in weaknesses, insults, needs, persecutions, and anguish, because my weakness is my strength." So consider yourself Happy when God puts you to the test.
Joy is not the lack of problems, but the presence of Christ in our lives! What do you need to change in your life, to be able to feel joy in the midst of trials?
The Book of Santiago considers the evidence as opportunities ... not as obstacles. God's purpose is to allow challenges in our lives, because these have the potential to make us grow ... to give us strength.
