Such faith

Worship blessing in Job and chapter one and chapter two, but that doesn't mean it's easy and it doesn't mean it's not without question

wrestling and agony which is what we start to see unfold in Job chapter three is he

Lament the day he was born

He just wishes he had never had life. He's in such pain and here in these verses he's saying why why

Why do I have life I don't want life I long for death I'd be glad to find the grave

I'd be so glad to find the grave Job said I'd I'd be fine if I never had life in the first place like the Job is at a

Obviously low point

Understandable of course and light of all that he's gone through and understandable because

so many of us and

the varied ways get to points like this and

And I say us because we're not alone in this I

Job here, but I think about Elijah the first Kings chapter 19

He got to the point and this was after he'd called down fire from heaven and Jezbo was making threats against it

That's all it took. He's on the run. He sits down. He's like God. I don't even want to live. I don't want to live anymore

And so let's just put it out there like this is a common struggle

That's not beyond any one of us to get to a point where we

Wonder if we want to go on and we even wonder if we wish we didn't have life in the first place

The whole picture here I want to remind us of and pray according to is this picture of Job bringing these questions to God

So can we just pray and say God we

Have so many questions
