Father, the Book of Job touches my
heart. Help me to accept the study of
Job as personally important (Psalm 42:5). As a true believer I seek to live right because I revere You, Lord. “Reverent fear" is evidenced by a tender conscience, a watchfulness
against temptation, and avoiding things that would displease You. As a result of Your eternal plan and
priceless payment for sin, my faith and hope can be placed in You. Help me to live right out of fear of the Lord. (Proverbs9:10).
Father, I believe I can overcome Satan’s attacks through
faith in You. Not only did Christ provide the victory, but also those who
were martyred took part in that victory.
I ask that You Defeat
Satan through my faith in You and Your Word. (Revelation
12:10).
I know from the Bible that You are
trustworthy for Who Your are no matter the circumstances I face. It is truly remarkable that Job followed adversity with
adoration, woe with worship. Let my devotion be without
dollars received in return; help me be godly apart from material gain. Let me Trust
in Who You are alone. (Job 1:20–22).
I
know that praising God and maintaining hope in Him are the right responses to a
deep sense of grief. Help me to base my appeal on the fact that I would be
useless to the Lord in the grave. Teach me how to praise God and maintain hope in You Lord while
in the midst of trials (Psalm 88:1, 2).
Help
me by your grace to seek God for God, not what you can do for me. Let me finish my test, in
order that I may lay claim to gold-like purity all along—before and during the
trial—because I have followed the Lord closely, keeping to The Way without deviating and while obeying You. Teach
me to relish every word of God, seeking God
for God, not for what You give me. (Job 23:10).
Lord, You are always just in your dealings
with people. You have told “mankind” that the essence of wisdom is to “venerate and
submit to” the Lord, even when men cannot understand God's
ways, and to reject evil, living in accord with God’s standards of holiness. Father,
help me to honor You by hating sin, trusting what the
Bible says about You being just.(Job 28:28).
My Lord and my God, You are not defined by my experiences nor any
human interpretation of history
but through Your revelation of Your Son in His Word. Help
me to evaluate what is only nonsense “empty, futile,
useless”;that which has “no meaning” and that evidences being faithless
“unfaithful,& treacherous”. Let me not be fooled by false
explanations of suffering. Teach me to Know God only
through Your Word. (Job 21:34).
I know that I should praise Your majesty
despite my circumstances. Father,
You are beyond the reach of any man’s mental powers. Your power or sovereignty,
and Your justice are not to oppress or oppose the believer. Teach me to praise Your majesty despite
circumstances. (Job 37:22b, 23).
Lord, Your wise
goodness is evident everywhere and is always worthy of trust. Men, though we sometimes extol God, don't really know whereof we speak when we blame You
for being unfair. Don't let my words be without knowledge, but help me to trust
Your wise goodness.(Job 38:3, 4).
You are the master
over all powers. Show me how to admit to Your
sovereignty and to my own sin of pride, submitting to Your
sovereign power. (Job 42:1, 2).
God’s love and grace for us in
the midst of our trials makes our faithfulness to You possible. Open my eyes dear Lord to focus on the final lap in the race of life. Help me by Your
grace to have a long fuse. Let me look
ahead to the Lord’s coming. Rejoicing in My
Savior's eternal love. (James 5:11).
Father, you have given me examples through
Your Word of learning and growth. Some things of themselves may not be good, but You, my
Father, harmonize them together for every believers’ ultimate good. Help me to grow
from the example of Job.(Romans 8:28). Amen!
