Job would purify his children. He would get up early in the morning and offer a burnt offering for each of them. For Job said to himself, “Perhaps my children have sinned and have cursed God in their hearts.” This was Job’s regular practice.

“I came naked from my mother’s womb,and I will be naked when I leave.The Lord gave me what I had,and the Lord has taken it away.Praise the name of the Lord!”

Should we accept only good things from the hand of God and never anything bad?” So in all this, Job said nothing wrong.

Then they sat on the ground with him for seven days and nights. No one said a word to Job, for they saw that his suffering was too great for words.

Lord God my Father,

Bless my children and wife, open their eyes to your truth and give them a heart to serve you above all things. Multiply the gifts you give them and give them skill to use them for your Glory. Use me as your messenger to bring your glory to them, free me from myself.

In Jesus name I pray,

Amen
