Prayer for Job 3:17

“There the wicked cease to make trouble, and there the weary find rest.”

Praying through Job 3:17

Heavenly Father, I am amazed at the wonderful way that Job refused to deny You, even when he was beset by the most terrible circumstances any man could have to face. Thank You that You know the end from the beginning and through Job’s distress, You brought him to a deeper knowledge and an exquisite understanding of Who You are. Forgive the times I have said things without thinking. Thank You that you ignore those times when I too have been foolish enough to regret my life or wish it away because I am in the midst of great difficulty, or depressed by the circumstances of life. Help me to keep the eyes of my heart on Jesus, and keep me trusting You in every eventuality of life. I know that You are dealing with me with eternity in view, just as You were with Your servant Job. Thank You, in Jesus' name, AMEN.
