Hello Ellie,
The best comfort for "feeling like Job" (been there, am that
is to remember the end result of Job's life, spiritually speaking..... The possibilities are endless how the Lord will bless us and our children..Blessings all around. We become new creatures in Christ Jesus and eventually our children, family, friends, and even enemies will also! Praise be to God for His wonderful perfect plan!!!! It gives you cause to rejoice and especially be content in the situation that you are in, just as Paul stated in
Phil 4:11 "Not that I speak in respect of want: for I have learned, in whatsoever state I am, therewith to be content."Rest in the Lord,
Barbara
Job 42:10-17
10 And the LORD turned the captivity of Job, when he prayed for his friends: also the LORD gave Job twice as much as he had before.
11 Then came there unto him all his brethren, and all his sisters, and all they that had been of his acquaintance before, and did eat bread with him in his house: and they bemoaned him, and comforted him over all the evil that the LORD had brought upon him: every man also gave him a piece of money, and every one an earring of gold.
12 So the LORD blessed the latter end of Job more than his beginning: for he had fourteen thousand sheep, and six thousand camels, and a thousand yoke of oxen, and a thousand she asses.
13 He had also seven sons and three daughters.
14 And he called the name of the first, Jemima; and the name of the second, Kezia; and the name of the third, Kerenhappuch.
15 And in all the land were no women found so fair as the daughters of Job: and their father gave them inheritance among their brethren.
16 After this lived Job an hundred and forty years, and saw his sons, and his sons' sons, even four generations.
17 So Job died, being old and full of days.
(KJV)
