Job

Job's life shows us the power of trust, faith, and perseverance through times of great trial. Job faces struggles in every area of his life: his health, family, finances and earthly possessions. Although he laments his plight, he remains unwavering in his trust that God will sustain him. Eventually, he yields to God's love and prays for his friends, instead of wasting time wondering "why." This transforming thought results in a complete reversal of his fortune — Job regains his health, has a new family, and acquires new wealth.
