No, my hope will go down with me to the grave. We will rest together in the dust!”

Even if I have sinned, that is my concern, not yours. 5You think you’re better than I am, using my humiliation as evidence of my sin. 6But it is God who has wronged me,

“Have mercy on me, my friends, have mercy, for the hand of God has struck me. 22Must you also persecute me, like God does? Haven’t you chewed me up enough?

“But as for me, I know that my Redeemer lives, and he will stand upon the earth at last. 26And after my body has decayed, yet in my body I will see God!

You should fear punishment yourselves, for your attitude deserves punishment.

Lord God my Father,

As you allow evil to have its way, I struggle to be at Peace with you. Lord God, protect me from trying to change the world to my will and allow me to be still as your plan plays out. Ultimate Truth, your Truth is perfect and I am unable to fathom it. Thank you for your patience with me and help me find ways to release my desire to control you. In your plan is where my peace rest.

In Jesus name I pray,

Amen
