He's kind of just saying the same thing the warp gods are saying (that you'll get through it), but in a way that's more implicitly demeaning, less encouraging and less actionable.
If the man didn't rule a nightmare space theocracy he probably wouldn't do too well as a motivational speaker.
Go kill aliens and heretics. It's a proved fact* that murder always cheer you up, that's why I kept that Warhammer 40000 WAD in my GZdoom folder, and why it only got replaced when Boltgun came out.
