God's will may not always be harsh or difficult. Sometimes it can be pleasant. He wills that his children love and honor one another. He wills that children are treated with love and compassionate care. He wills that all people be saved. When we see these things happening, we can rejoice in the goodness of God's will. But even when God's will takes us to difficult places, we can be sure that God's will is ultimately and always good. So, indeed, “Let the will of the Lord be done.”
