Job amd me

[johnpaul]

After my heart attack, I started looking for answers in the bible. I intended to read it (The Bible) from cover to cover, but I kept being led to Job. This often happened quite literally with my Bible falling open at this book.
So, I started reading. I then realised that not only was my health damaged, but so also was my wealth ( I can't work at my profession of teaching science) and my family was damaged. My grown up children won't have anything to do with me.
I slowly came to realise that all my trials and tribulations were caused by me and only me. God didn't do it to me, I did it to myself; smoking, divorce etc...
As I read through Job I came to realise that my only saving grace was that I never cursed God, but I did ask Him why He did these things to me.
Now I am at the point where I am simply accepting my wrongdoing and asking Jesus Christ to forgive me. I know that God will give me back my life in His way and in His time, when He is ready.
So, I pray and wait.
Watch this space and please pray for me. I'm half way through Job...

Hi johnpaul

I have moved your thread to the prayer section.

I note you have had problems and here folks along with myself, are able to pray that God will restore your fortunes.....as he did in the case of Job

God Bless you dear brother.......There is no better way to sort out one's life that to get on track with Jesus

In Christion LOve

Praise the Lord Bro.. I'm agreeing in prayer right now with the prayers to be lifted up...

Keep humbling yourself to the Lord and He will lift you up in due time...

Speaking of Job's restoration, hmmmm... what a great thing the Lord has done... amen and praise the Lord..

God bless you always...

a great promise...

Come unto me, all ye that labour and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest. Take my yoke upon you, and learn of me; for I am meek and lowly in heart: and ye shall find rest unto your souls. Matthew 11:28029

Prayer:

Thank you Lord for uncovering the truth underlying our lives. Now we can have that sound mind and power to live it with your truths and promises being the content of our thoughts showing us the way to victory. Lord reveal Your glory, that as we have Your words in our hearts help us to learn of Your works in our lives. Our hearts will not only leap with joy but yearn to serve the Lord.. We give you praise. In Jesus name. Amen

Thank you brothers and sisters for praying with me. You don't condemn me as Job's friends did. Bless you.
I am being chastised by God, and isn't that a wonderful thing, He loves me enough to do this for me.
I know I will come out of this a better man, however going through it hurts.
love johnpaul.
