If you need encouragement because life with your husband or kids has really been difficult lately, you might identify with Job’s situation. Chances are, you’ve never had life hit you so hard as Job.

These 5 verses are key!

Even though I’ve been through some really trying times in my life, my experiences don’t compare to what Job has gone through.

If Job can praise God and never turn his back against God or blame Him, I can honor and praise God too!

Job had terrible calamities and was dealing with criticism from friends who decided he had sinned and that God was judging him.

My soul is weary of my life; I will leave my complaint upon myself; I will speak in the bitterness of my soul.  Job 10:1

Rebekah was another mom who had grown weary. She was weary of her life and filled with discouragement about her son, Esau.

⁴⁶ And Rebekah said to Isaac, “I am weary of my life because of the daughters of Heth; if Jacob takes a wife of the daughters of Heth, like these who are the daughters of the land, what good will my life be to me?”  Genesis 27:41-46

Have you been there with Job?

Are you weary to the point of growing bitter?

Maybe it is just dealing with the daily grind of being a stay-at-home mom. That is enough to make anyone bone tired!

Continually throughout the story of Job, he cried out to the Lord about his complaint.

If someone is continually complaining, we get tired of it. We might even encourage them to be more ‘positive.’

How often do we push a discouraged and weary friend aside because we don’t want to be bothered in bearing their burden?

Jesus never tires of us when we pour out our heart to Him.
