Job was a man who suffered a lot. He was a very righteous man who was also very wealthy. But in a very short time he lost all of his wealth and his family. And to top it all off he caught a nasty skin infection that was very painful.

Yet in the midst of all his suffering, Job still worshiped the Lord. He prayed for his friends and the Lord restored his life.

Spend some time praying in light of what God’s Word teaches us:

  1. Begin by recognizing the sovereignty of God in the midst of suffering.
  2. Confess any struggle you have right now in trusting the Lord in your own suffering.
  3. Pray for friends you know that are suffering right now.
  4. Ask the Lord to meet needs and restore the lives of people in our church family.
