Job opened his mouth in agony. I think he was murmuring…

Job…opened his mouth in agony…I think he murmured as if talking to himself…
...“Let the day I was born vanish, and the night I told you I would conceive a son…”
...When people…suffer from a serious illness…
Or from a severe accident…When the pain keeps them awake at night…
When they are troubled by relationship problems…
We…sometimes feel disgusted with our own existence…😰
...If, because we are Christians…we think we should grit our teeth and endure even in times of suffering, or put on a fake smile…then…that doesn't come from faith.
...Prayer…not directed at people…but directed at God…Just as Job lamented and pleaded, let us appeal to God, and remain in His grace without straying from Him❗️.
Shalom 😄
