Job 42:10-17<\/strong><\/h2>\n

Job was blameless and upright, he feared God and\u00a0 shunned evil.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

    \n
  1. People who comfort us<\/strong>: <\/span>Having known about the ill fate that fell upon Job, his\u00a0 three friends Eliphaz the Temanite, Bildad the Shuhite,\u00a0 and Zophar the Namathite, set out from their homes to\u00a0 comfort him and sympathize with him. These three\u00a0 men, sat with him without uttering a word for 7 days\u00a0 and 7 nights<\/li>\n
  2. Words that hurt<\/strong> (Job 2:11-13) : <\/span>When job was attacked by satan, when he had sores\u00a0 all over his body, his wife said, just curse God and die.\u00a0 <\/span>Even with hurtful words from his wife, Job\u2019s reply was,\u00a0 \u201cshall we accept good from God and not trouble? 3.Praying for others even when suffering\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    Job prayed for his friends even when he himself hit rock bottom. After that, God blessed Job with twice\u00a0 what he had before.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

    CLOSING PRAYER\u00a0<\/b><\/p>\n

    Heavenly Father, help me to be a comfort for fellow\u00a0 citizens, prevent me from using words that may hurt\u00a0 <\/span>others, and help me to pray for others even when I go\u00a0 <\/span>through difficult times. Thank you God for taking care\u00a0 of me even during tough times. Amen<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
