Good evening and welcome back to Bedtime Bible Stories for adults.

I want to thank Jennifer, Margin, and Robert for their support and generosity.

Robert has donated several times.

And a very special thank you to Sarah for her extremely generous donation.

I am so humbled by everyone's giving.

Tonight, we continue with Job's story,

and he is still going back and forth with his friends.

I can see that many of you are in your journey. is still going back and forth with his friends.

I can see that many of you are in your Job season.

Probably one of the most difficult things about that is that we want to know why.

Sometimes we may get that answer answer and in some cases we may not know why until we get to

heaven. I've learned a couple of things while being in my Job season. God's will is for us to be in good health and to prosper.

But our returnal salvation is even more important, and he can use tough times to get our attention.

One of my prayers has been,

God, what are you trying to teach me?

It may be something as simple as patience,

or growing my faith. Another thing is that God can use us in a powerful way

while we are sick or suffering.

Others look to us, our attitude,

our faith during hard times or challenges.

So another prayer of mine is for God to give me strength and a cheerful and thankful heart, even during trials. That doesn't mean that we don't have our moments. We are human.

But it's good to learn to not stay in a negative place or mindset. I'll talk more about mindset later.
