Satan answered the Lord, “I have been patrolling the earth, watching everything that’s going on.”

“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!”

But Job replied, “You talk like a foolish woman. Should we accept only good things from the hand of God and never anything bad?” So in all this, Job said nothing wrong.

I cannot eat for sighing;

my groans pour out like water.

25What I always feared has happened to me.

What I dreaded has come true.

26I have no peace, no quietness.

I have no rest; only trouble comes.”

Lord God my Father,

Help me to rest in your plan. The struggles in my path attempt to distract me from your Peace. No level of stress or desire to have things my way will change your plan. Help me to surrender to your way so your Peace can have it’s way in me and restore me. Thank you for the past as it was and the understanding, as weak as it is, to rest on me. You and only you are in control. Keep me from the desire to advise you on how to do your job better.

In Jesus name I pray,

Amen
