Job 3: ²⁵ What I feared has come upon me;
    what I dreaded has happened to me

This hit home with me.  I have long feared falling.  I fell on Sept. 3 and broke my arm. 

I am still suffering from the effects of my fall.  My trials are small compared to Job's, but they have been trying nonetheless.  I am unable to do so many things, but I am able to do so much more than I could before the cast was removed or even just after it was taken off.

The real point of Job's story was that he never cursed God, even when those closest to him suggested he should.  I have had my dark moments, just like Job, but cursing God or blaming him was not my response either.  The gift of faith is such a blessing.

Prayer:  Lord, I am so blessed to have my faith.  Through the hard times of my life, I always know You are there.  I am sorry for those who lack this resource.  I pray for them.
Amen
