Job 8:1 to
Father of Lights, it is true we wonder after You. It is good that we question “What would You have me do,” but it not good to ask why. Job is a very good theologian, but he seems to stumble when he begins to question Your reasons or motivations. And before long, he deviates into counseling You, which he himself knows is wrong. Lord, may I be strengthened in faith. May I grow in trust and when I am overwhelmed, may I simply concede my deficiency, Your greatness, and Your mercy. May I learn well, loving Father, from blessings and sufferings that You love and attend to all in Christ Jesus. May my attitude always be one of worship. I glorify You! May my actions glorify You consistently, not intermittently. Forgive my sins, and cleanse my conscience, that I may sing Your praises forever. Amen.
