Prayer
The Lord gave and the Lord has taken away; may the name of the Lord be praised
(Job 1:21; NIV).
Should we accept only good things from the hand of God, and never anything bad?
(Job 2:10; NLT).
May your will be done on earth, as it is in heaven (Matthew 6:10; NLT).
Be thankful in all circumstances (1 Thessalonians 5:18; NLT).
But those who suffer he delivers in their suffering; he speaks to them in their affliction (Job 36:15; NIV).
Lord,
When bad things happen,
Please help me
To make the very best
Of my circumstances,
By learning all I can from them –
With you.
For Jesus’ sake,
Amen.
