He will enable you to repent, strengthen you, lighten your burdens, dry your tears, comfort you, and continue to help you stay on the path.

But the reason we have this built-in desire for happiness is because we're created in God's image. He wired us to want to be happy.

But he offers it in the wrong places, at the wrong times, and in the wrong things.
