Who gives intuition to the heart and instinct to the mind?

I had only heard about you before,but now I have seen you with my own eyes.6I take back everything I said,and I sit in dust and ashes to show my repentance.”

After the Lord had finished speaking to Job, he said to Eliphaz the Temanite: “I am angry with you and your two friends, for you have not spoken accurately about me, as my servant Job has. 

Lord God my Father,

Help me to take my place under your authority, open my heart to know you so I may speak accurately about you and carry you properly in my heart.

In Jesus name I pray,

Amen

God’s friendship was felt in my home.

“I thought, ‘Surely I will die surrounded by my family after a long, good life.

“I made a covenant with my eyesnot to look with lust at a young woman.2For what has God above chosen for us?What is our inheritance from the Almighty on high?

For lust is a shameful sin,a crime that should be punished.12It is a fire that burns all the way to hell.31:12 Hebrew to Abaddon.It would wipe out everything I own.

“For God watches how people live;he sees everything they do.22No darkness is thick enoughto hide the wicked from his eyes.

Lord God my Father,

You are perfect and I struggle to follow your plan without distraction. Keep me close and protect me from wandering from you. Protect my thoughts and actions so I may please you and represent you well.

In Jesus name I pray,

Amen

As long as I live,

while I have breath from God,4my lips will speak no evil,

and my tongue will speak no lies.5I will never concede that you are right; I will defend my integrity until I die.6I will maintain my innocence without wavering.0My conscience is clear for as long as I live.

The fear of the Lord is true wisdom; to forsake evil is real understanding.’”

Lord God my Father,

Keep me close and protect my heart from evil, you are the Truth, may I follow you in all things.

In Jesus name I pray,

Amen

“The righteous will be happy to see the wicked destroyed,and the innocent will laugh in contempt.20They will say, ‘See how our enemies have been destroyed.The last of them have been consumed in the fire.’

“Submit to God, and you will have peace;then things will go well for you.22Listen to his instructions,and store them in your heart.23If you return to the Almighty, you will be restored—so clean up your life.

And when he tests me, I will come out as pure as gold.11For I have stayed on God’s paths;I have followed his ways and not turned aside.12I have not departed from his commands,but have treasured his words more than daily food.

Lord God my Father,

Cleanse my heart and make me righteous, protect me from evil temptation. Give me courage in your Truth and cause me to turn towards you in all things.

Lord God my Father,

Work on my heart so it is clean, repair my thoughts so they are pure. Give me confidence in how I live to honor you and remove my sinful nature.

“You must defend my innocence, O God,since no one else will stand up for me.4You have closed their minds to understanding,but do not let them triumph.

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, capturing me in his net.

“Don’t you realize that from the beginning of time, ever since people were first placed on the earth,5the triumph of the wicked has been short lived and the joy of the godless has been only temporary?6Though the pride of the godless reaches to the heavens and their heads touch the clouds,7yet they will vanish forever, thrown away like their own dung.

Lord God my Father,

Your Truth is all that matters, my salvation is in your hands only. By your grace only do I live. Lead me and allow your grace to deliver me from my trials.

In Jesus name I pray,

Amen

“O earth, do not conceal my blood.Let it cry out on my behalf.19Even now my witness is in heaven.My advocate is there on high.

Lord God my Father,

In the hardest times you are still for me. Give me strength to endure the test and don’t deep your comfort from me.

In Jesus name I pray,

Amen

“But true wisdom and power are found in God;counsel and understanding are his.

Let me speak, and I will face the consequences.14Why should I put myself in mortal danger13:14 Hebrew Why should I take my flesh in my teeth.and take my life in my own hands?

Tell me, what have I done wrong? Show me my rebellion and my sin.

Lord God my Father,

You are the answer, all my stress is self inflicted. Help me to take action as I should and live sin free and satisfied.

In Jesus name I pray,

Amen

“But look, God will not reject a person of integrity, nor will he lend a hand to the wicked.21He will once again fill your mouth with laughter and your lips with shouts of joy.22Those who hate you will be clothed with shame, and the home of the wicked will be destroyed.

Lord God my Father,

Thank you for the struggles so I may cry out to you and take comfort. Help me, guide me to do your will quickly with confidence.

In Jesus name I pray,

Amen

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.

What 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,

Shape my heart to bring your honor to my family. Motivate me with your Truth and bless my children and wife. Protect me from Satan’s desire to destroy.

In Jesus name I pray,

Amen
