Isn’t that like the chassidishe story about the two rabbis locked in prison. The guards kept the toilet bucket in the cell so they couldn’t daven. The one was so depressed. The other began to dance for joy. The one was depressed because he could not pray. The other realized that just like there is a commitment to pray there’s a commitment not to pray in such a situation, and he is able to fulfill the ratzon H-Shem in a different way, a way he didn’t expect. His job is not to daven. (Or eat in a sukkah etc) His job is to do the eibishters will so he was joyful. When the guard saw how excited he was he removed the toilet Pail and they could daven.
