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

“I wish you would hide me in the grave and forget me there until your anger has passed. But mark your calendar to think of me again!

“Were you the first person ever born? Were you born before the hills were made? 8Were you listening at God’s secret council? Do you have a monopoly on wisdom? 9What do you know that we don’t?

“If you will listen, I will show you. I will answer you from my own experience.

My friends scorn me, but I pour out my tears to God. 21I need someone to mediate between God and me, as a person mediates between friends.

Lord God my Father,

You are Lord over it all, my understanding is insignificant. You are with me in my struggles and the more I trust you and know you, the more I allow your comfort to rest on me. Keep me from trying to have answers for the struggles and allow your plan to rest on me as you desire. My experience is a joke, only you know the truth. Thank you for making me clean with the work of Jesus.

In Jesus name I pray,

Amen

 And God saw that it was good.

In the image of God he created them; male and female he created them.

Then God looked over all he had made, and he saw that it was very good!

And God blessed the seventh day and declared it holy, because it was the day when he rested from all his work of creation.

 I will make a helper who is just right for him.

“You won’t die!” the serpent replied to the woman. 5“God knows that your eyes will be opened as soon as you eat it, and you will be like God, knowing both good and evil.”

Lord God my Father,

You are everything good and I am made in your image. Allow your Truth to rest well with me and guide me. Keep me under your authority and protect me from the deceiver. Help me to live by your design and not my decisions. Keep me from falling.

In Jesus name I pray,

Amen

Those who are at ease have contempt for misfortune as the fate of those whose feet are slipping.

“But ask the animals, and they will teach you, or the birds in the sky, and they will tell you; 8or speak to the earth, and it will teach you, or let the fish in the sea inform you. 9Which of all these does not know that the hand of the Lord has done this?

He reveals the deep things of darkness and brings utter darkness into the light. 23He makes nations great, and destroys them; he enlarges nations, and disperses them. 24He deprives the leaders of the earth of their reason; he makes them wander in a trackless waste. 25They grope in darkness with no light; he makes them stagger like drunkards.

Though he slay me, yet will I hope in him; I will surely defend my ways to his face. 16Indeed, this will turn out for my deliverance, for no godless person would dare come before him!

“Only grant me these two things, God, and then I will not hide from you: 21Withdraw your hand far from me, and stop frightening me with your terrors. 22Then summon me and I will answer, or let me speak, and you reply to me. 23How many wrongs and sins have I committed? Show me my offense and my sin.

Lord God my Father,

Thank you for the struggles so I may delight in the delivery. Open my heart so I may join in your plan as you designed me to. Lord, I am stubborn and hard hearted, thank you for getting my attention as you need to. Thank you for how you never move, keep me from overthinking your plan and trust without condition.

In Jesus name I pray,

Amen

If someone wanted to take God to court, would it be possible to answer him even once in a thousand times? 4For God is so wise and so mighty. Who has ever challenged him successfully?

If it’s a question of strength, he’s the strong one. If it’s a matter of justice, who dares to summon him to court?

“God is not a mortal like me, so I cannot argue with him or take him to trial. 33If only there were a mediator between us, someone who could bring us together.

Lord God my Father,

Your plan is perfect, yet I am in terror. In the name of Jesus Christ, I cry out to you and ask for your mercy. Protect me from disaster and allow me to carry your strength personally. Hold me up and be my foundation for today’s struggles, without you I could not even breathe. Thank you for this day and whatever it holds, I pray we can be in agreement on a delightful day, your will be done.

In Jesus name I pray,

Amen

“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!”

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

 “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.

No one said a word to Job, for they saw that his suffering was too great for words.

Lord God my Father,

Everything good comes from you, I have nothing you didn’t give me. Allow your Peace to be my guide and your truth to protect me. Keep Satan at bay and allow me to live your will. Keep foolishness from resting in my thoughts.

In Jesus name I pray,

Amen

Now God saw that the earth had become corrupt and was filled with violence. 12God observed all this corruption in the world, for everyone on earth was corrupt.

self, “I will never again curse the ground because of the human race, even though everything they think or imagine is bent toward evil from childhood. I will never again destroy all living things.

Lord God my Father,

Protect me and keep my heart in constant desire of you so the darkness can’t find me. Keep me so close I only desire your good and not my sin nature.

In Jesus name I pray,

Amen

“Look, God’s home is now among his people! He will live with them, and they will be his people. God himself will be with them.

Let the one who is doing harm continue to do harm; let the one who is vile continue to be vile; let the one who is righteous continue to live righteously; let the one who is holy continue to be holy.”

May the grace of the Lord Jesus be with God’s holy people

Let everything that breathes sing praises to the Lord! Praise the Lord!

Lord God my Father,

I look forward to life eternal with you, Protect my heart and keep me in your blessing. Keep me from wanting to change the darkness around me and use me as the light so darkness has no place to rest. Allow your grace to rest well in my thoughts and actions. I just want to praise you.

In Jesus name I pray,

Amen

In Jesus name I pray,

Amen
