You have no idea at what level this series has touched my walk. I have been dealing with stage 4 cancer and this has brought peace to my soul. Thank you.

I was born a Muslim in Iraq. I was worried and depressed, sitting and looking at the Tigris River in my city.Jesus' face appeared to me in the water and told me. "Son, you're not alone" And now I'm a Christian, and I pray every day at the edge of the river.Thank you Jesus for this grace. I'm not alone right now. Jesus is with me....

This puts everything into perspective. I almost died last July as my kidneys failed me. It's been a sruggle every day but i still praise God for all he provides. I will do so even until the last day of my life here.

So back in July 2019 I was a mess. Drinking, crying, just upset at God for taking both my parents by the time I was just 29 y/o. I was so sad & lonely. That night I prayed, I asked God, “what should I read in the Bible?” (A friend suggested I ask Him this). Kid you not...as I’m sleeping, I heard a voice—very calm, slow & just soothing whisper in my ear, “Job”. Never heard of Job before this. Never knew anything about Job. I woke up & remembered hearing “Job” & let me tell you...it restored my trust & faith in Jesus like 1000! Ok! Been on fire for Him ever since & it’s been the best times of my life living for Him! Blessings to everyone!

The book of job is the book that always sticks out to me from the Bible. I was born prematurely, doctors told my mom I wouldn’t live long I’m 35 years old now. As a little kid, I was diagnosed with asthma, and pre-diabetes both gone now. When I was in high school, I had really bad anxiety to the point where I didn’t wanna leave my room had to take medication for it. Thank God I don’t have crushing anxiety anymore. When I turn 21 I was diagnosed with glaucoma in both eyes three years later after praying to Jesus to be healed. I don’t have glaucoma anymore. I reach 30 I was diagnosed with diabetes. Pray to God, I ate well and I exercised, and I don’t have diabetes anymore thank God. Throughout it, all, I have learned to love the Lord with my entire being. Because no matter what I go through it’s his presence in my life that brings me peace.

It's one thing to be born with nothing and be grateful, it takes so much faith to have everything, lose it all and still thank God.

"Job is now the kind of person who no matter what comes, good or bad, he can trust in God's wisdom." As a Christian, this is really challenging but nothing is impossible when we trust God.

I'm 24 and my mom has just been diagnosed with an extremely aggressive cancer and there's a very real chance that I'm going to lose her. this has really made me start to think about my relationship with God and how I need to strengthen it and trust in Him no matter what. it feels very unfair to my whole family that my mom might have to go so soon, but I know that this is all part of God's plan for us and that we need to stay trusting in His infinite wisdom. to any of you reading this, please keep her in your prayers.

Update: she passed away yesterday. thank you to everyone who prayed for us, she went without pain and surrounded by her family.

[lovelycoccinelle]

I hope to be like Job in the sense that I never lose my faith in God.

When my mother died I was 16. I used to pray every single day for her. When she died unexpectedly, I lost my faith afterwards.

Now at 21, I've regained it stronger than ever before. I'd never even opened a bible before, and now I've been exploring the word of the Lord more and more each day. I can truthfully say that my faith did waiver, and for that I will always be sorry to the Lord. But He will never lose me again, at least I hope not. I hope I am strong enough to persevere through life's struggles and always stay humble and kind.


Please dear Lord, give all of your loyal children the strength to persevere through life's miseries, and to praise your name when things are bad AND when things are good.

He struggled in flesh but never give up in spirit

[gabriellehockett]

Job suffered for us. It wasn't random, God in his infinite wisdom knew Job's story would make it into the bible, knew Christian's for generations would read it and learn from it, analyze it, gain comfort or understanding or peace from it. We are the "why" to Job's story. Like mentioned, God can see everything and details we can't even begin to comprehend, including the details of the future.

Proverbs - Live according to God's Wisdom
Ecclesiastes - Adopt a healthy fear of God
Job - Trust God regardless of anything

I lost my 29 year old son just 2 weeks ago. I'm struggling. I keep asking God "why?!" And "why now?" My son had 2 young daughters. My son was just beginning to really become mature, becoming a good dad to BOTH his girls, and he and I had the past year of getting to a great mom/son bond that had eluded us for several years. Why God WHY? I hope and I pray that my son had received Jesus in his last unconscious moments before eternity. Satan is tormenting me with thoughts and yet I feel the Holy Spirit saying "trust me" in this deep darkness of my life.
