Biblical Answer

Step 1: Understanding the Nature of Enjoyment

To enjoy life is not merely a mortal's choice, but a gift of God, as the verses cited above show. True enjoyment is the sovereign gift of God's grace; He decides who should have it and who should not. This means that the ability to enjoy life is not something we can manufacture or achieve on our own, but rather it is something that God chooses to give us.

Step 2: Recognizing the Purpose of Suffering

Sometimes, God allows suffering to occur in our lives, and it can be difficult to understand why. However, it's essential to remember that God desires that there should be no physical pain in His creation. He takes no delight in physical distress. Nevertheless, in particular instances, He decides not to realize this desire by a special act of His own in preventing suffering. This can be due to various reasons, including the fact that God has good reasons for the suffering that appears pointless within our limited framework.

Step 3: Finding Joy in Relationship with God

Instead of being consumed by the futility of trying to master the future or seeking happiness in worldly things, we should find enjoyment in what is at hand – developing a relationship with God. This is the key to true joy and happiness. As we grow in our relationship with God, it becomes simpler to trust in His sovereignty and purposes, even when we don't understand why certain things are happening. We can learn to find joy in the midst of suffering by recognizing that God is working all things together for our good (Romans 8:28) and that He desires to use our experiences to conform us to the image of Christ.

The final answer is: There is no final numerical answer to this question, as it is a philosophical and theological discussion. However, the three paragraphs above provide a comprehensive answer to the question of why God may take away one's ability to enjoy life.
