God Sees Our Suffering: The Book of Job
Job 7:20 ESV
If I sin, what do I do to you, you watcher of mankind? Why have you made me your mark? Why have I become a burden to you?
Job 10:14 ESV
If I sin, you watch me and do not acquit me of my iniquity.
Job 16:12 ESV
I was at ease, and he broke me apart; he seized me by the neck and dashed me to pieces; he set me up as his target
Job 35:3 ESV
that you ask, ‘What advantage have I? How am I better off than if I had sinned?’
Job 35:6 ESV
If you have sinned, what do you accomplish against him? And if your transgressions are multiplied, what do you do to him?
The book of Job, one of the wisdom books of the Bible, deals with two issues crucial to every person: the problem of suffering and the sovereignty of God.
Bible: The Old Testament
The question is a theme in the Old Testament: how can God remain good despite the fact that he allows evil and human suffering to exist?
Thank you R from Cam Care. I remembered you prayed and enlightened me about the Book of Job. I still have so much to learn.

dear lord,
Father, let this suffering pass from me
yet not my will but yours be done.
May You be blessed forever.
Jesus, Son of God, have mercy on me.
my breath has been infected with chemicals
they intermingle with other organs of my body
pesticides to make a grass look greener
only You know the antidote
Holy Spirit, please comfort and console me
heal what is ill in me
strengthen what is weak
save me from depression and self-pity
renew my courage
O Lord, Jesus Christ, Divine Healer
grant me peace of mind
and perfect trust in You
in my time of distress.
Give me control over my fears.
Grant that I may be cooperative
and patient with Your Will,
trusting that You will restore me to full health
once again, so I can worship and praise you fully
in this I pray
Amen.
