Keeping Faith In Tough Times
As Job agonises over his situation,
his three friends explain that he
must be suffering because of
some terrible sin he committed.
They try to persuade Job to repent
of his sin. When Job argues that he
hasn’t sinned enough to deserve
such suffering his friends respond
with even harsher accusations.
Lord, whilst we sometime cannot
understand troubles that befall us
we know U have awesome power,
and U are in control of situation.
Help us never doubt U but have
the unwavering faith like Job.
Help us Keep to Your Way.
Help us Summit to Yr Sovereignty.
Help us Trust in Your Promise &
Help us keep clear conscience.
In Jesus’ precious name, Amen.
Lord, we will Keep to Your Way:
He knows the way that I take;
when He has tested me, I shall
Come Forth As Gold… I have
Kept His Way & not turned aside.
I have not departed from the
commandment of His lips;
I have treasured the words
of His mouth (Job 23:10-12).
Lord, praise U for your faithfulness
& for knowing the way that I take.
Thank You that when I have been
tested, I will come forth as gold.
Lord, it’s painful not to hear Your
voice; and to wonder why I’m here
and where You’ve gone. Until You
lead again, my eyes are fixed on U.
Let me never waste the pain.
Use it Lord to draw me deeper;
and show me treasures of Your
ways and Your kingdom. Amen.
Lord, we Submit to Yr Sovereignty:
God hangs the earth on nothing.
He wraps the rain in his thick
clouds, and the clouds do not
burst with the weight. He created
the horizon when he separated
the waters; he set the boundaries
for day and night. And these
are some of the minor things
he does, merely a whisper of his
power! Who can understand the
thunder of his power? (J26:11-14)
Lord Almighty, Yr power is beyond
my comprehension. So help me to
never doubt You and Your ability
to restore me. And help me to have
such unwavering faith in the midst
of difficult times that I can rest
in peace, knowing that You Will
take care of all I care about. Amen
Lord, we Trust in Your Promise:
Job: I cry to you, O God,
but you Don’t Answer… You
have become cruel toward me…
Surely no one would turn against
the needy when they cry for help
in their trouble. Did I not weep
for those in trouble?…So I look
for good, but evil came instead.
I waited for the light but darkness
fell… I walk in gloom without
sunlight. I cry for help (J30:20-28)
Lord, I refuse to let Your silences
shake my faith. For I don’t need
to understand Your will in order to
trust Your heart. I don’t need to
know the details of how You will
fulfil a promise in order to believe
the promise. I purpose to trust You
even more when I don’t hear You,
Lord, we cry out in agony to U for
U are the only one who can help.
Help us to wait in silence and
keep a clear conscience. Amen.
