Prayer time

Notice the absence of Satan in the end when God deals with Job in Job 42:10-12. Notice also in verse 11 that Job’s relatives and associates eventually came and comforted him. They finally did what should have been done in the beginning. In learning to “Submit to the Sovereign LORD,” Job was able to reconcile with his friends.

Quickly review the main points covered in the study of Job. Based on what was learned, have members write a prayer for someone who is suffering. Most likely, members can’t understand the suffering and need to acknowledge God’s sovereignty in the situation. Confess and ask forgiveness for the pride of presuming that human understanding is even possible. None of us knows the mind of the all powerful Lord.
