Another lesson I got from reading through this book is that we should get rid of our sense of entitlement "I am a good person hence, I deserve good things and nothing bad should happen to me". It's not our place to determine that but God's.

I started drinking when I was 16. I would drink at parties, but I also started drinking alone because I was unhappy, and I was in a lot of emotional pain all the time. My mom was very aggressive when I was younger, and my brother hated her and so did I. He started hanging out with shady people, he started failing all his classes, he was never home, and my parents fought all the time. I also ran away several times. I was always trying to figure out a reason as to why I was here or what the purpose of life was. So, I started looking at different philosophies, religions, and beliefs. When I was 18 after I was hungover, I got on my knees and I prayed for the first time. I asked if God was real that he would show me he was real because I couldn’t take it anymore. I was crying when I prayed for this. At that moment I felt a presence come over me like a wind. It was barely noticeable, but it was unlike anything in my life I had experienced up until that point. I was surprised when I felt it and I remember saying “what was that?” after that experience I pretty much forgot what happened and kept partying, until my senior year when I got arrested. After my arrest, my parents lost all their trust in me and I was expelled from high school. I was told never to come back. At that time, I felt afraid and hopeless. That’s when I started looking for God, and I prayed that he would reveal himself in my life and that he would give me signs. My prayers began getting answered so consistently that I couldn’t deny that God was doing something. It was mysterious and compelling. I ended up in Church and started reading the bible hours a day. I stopped hanging out with all my other friends because they were continually getting arrested. I was able to forgive my family and myself and to ask to be forgiven. I noticed how at Church people were judgmental and how they formed cliques but were afraid to be around anyone else different from them. It increased my faith because I realized Jesus was not like that and ever since I was young, I saw people as people regardless of who they were. After a while, it’s like I could see God's presence was in my life and then it felt like he wasn’t, and then he was, and then he wasn’t. One day I woke up and felt more depressed than I ever have in my entire life. I felt like I was dying on the inside. That night I prayed, and I said, God, I don’t see my life five years from now I'm going to die Jesus save me Lord, please save me. I was weeping when I said it and when I asked him to save me, I felt a presence inside of me like a heartbeat, and I felt it once like a pulse, and I said Lord please save me and I felt it again even stronger. It was like radiance. When I woke up the next morning, I had transformed everything felt brand new like I was a kid again. All my fears and all my racing thoughts everything was gone. I looked at my hands, and I said this can’t be real it’s impossible. When I looked at myself in the mirror, I saw a different person. I started praying, and the holy spirit became entirely real to me it was washing over me and inside of me. It was total love and peace, and I heard a voice but not an audible one, it was an inner voice. It said I am with you; I love you, I will never leave you, it’s done it’s finished. That was May 3rd, 2009, and ever since then I’ve followed God, I have seen many things change and many things I know wouldn’t have changed without faith and belief. I know what it’s like to be lost to feel you have no hope. Don’t ever think you’re stuck, or life can’t change because it can. My mom is a Christian now, Its night and day. Some of the things that went away during that period were severe anxiety and my addiction to alcohol. I’ve seen and experienced so many things that are miraculous and seen how God has worked in my life. When we ask God to forgive us for what we’ve done and turn away from our sins and wrongdoings and we believe in Christ's sacrifice everything changes. His word says if we confess with our mouths that Jesus is Lord and believe in our hearts that he died and rose again we will have eternal life but not just life after death but abundant life in the present. Our sins are erased not only past, present, and future but our burdens and fears are lifted also. Our thoughts, our minds, our hearts, our souls are transformed and united with God and we know his spirit lives in us. If you seek, pray, and knock you will know JESUS IS KING!!! HE LIVES!

Whoever does your art is supernaturally gifted

This book takes “Trust God” to a level I couldn’t have fathomed even though it has been staring at me in the face my whole life. Truly a marvelous book. Praise be to God!

And I bet Job could never imagine the countless souls his story would help in the future.

Job is a book of vulnerability. It was hard to read at times, but it made me realize how badly we all need God. Definitely my new favorite book

I didn't realize how much God values our honesty in Him and to genuinely bring our questions, and even accusations to Him. Incredible.

WOOOOOO I got chills with that last part "When we try to search for reasons, we tend to either simplify God-- like the friends-- or like Job-- accuse God-- but based on limited evidence"

Whoever does the art for this series... 10/10 - Super amazing talent and extremely organized!

Job is one of my favorite character in the bible. everytime when I'm on my lowest, I think about his story. Him being an innocent, righteous man having to suffer all of that not knowing the reason why, yet the first thing that come out of his lips were praises unto God. And if you read the book, Job still got depressed and cursed his own life wanting death to just come to him. But God never left him. He was there listening to his cries. and or me, knowing that He is with me during my tough times is already enough.

Having the struggle and pain of a 15 year old son who has died, my response has been to bring this to the Lord in prayer. The change in a parent’s life after a child’s death is real. It’s like everything you once knew vanished away and you are starting over, trying to figure out how to live again. In the pain, there is the sweetness of God’s mercy and grace, as well as a longing to be in His presence in Heaven. There is a greater urgency to speak the gospel to the lost. I am confident because of the justification God gave me, that I will see my Jacob again. One day, He who sits on the throne will make all things new. Come Lord Jesus.

Yes, I've been a fan of the book of Job for some time. It gave me the strength to praise God in my "Job season". He gives, and he takes away. We came empty into this world, and we're leaving here empty, except for our lessons learned. This is a big training ground. He is always with us. And whatever happens in our lives, He allows. That is comforting 🙏

My name is Jeremy David Ray. I was born dead with complications and was not breathing and clinically dead. This saddened, my mother, but out of love for me that mother's love deeply prayed to either let me live or take me if that His will? His will be done. This is accounted by what she tells me when my birthday comes around. God decided and there breathed life into me. It was 7 minutes and this year I'm turning 30 years old. That would have been 30 years ago. Today I feel closer to God more than ever because I believe he chose me for a reason and now more than ever I find I owe it to him for my life. I have not always been the best Christian but I know Jesus is God one on the same. I am living proof of the love of God and miracles he does every day.

Wow, how amazing is God! He encourages us to be honest with Him, even when we feel negatively about what we think He is doing. He accepts our ideas but at the same time teaches us what is right without being angry that we feel what we are feeling. God thank You for your mercy.

The way how God can humble us when we may trip into having a sense of entitlement on how things are ran in HIS universe is truly powerful. This book taught me to simply live a free but God fearing life, with child like faith towards Him, and to focus your energy only on things that actually are in your control (such as choosing whether to live by God’s standards or not), whilst leaving the rest to God, instead of questioning it or questioning Him. Almost like a “whatever happens, happens“ mentality, but with the pillar of faith & hope in His amazing promise for us all. “Be still and wait patiently on Him.”

I've been reading this book and I got confused at some parts. This helped me SOOO much to get a bigger picture of what's going on. I'm going to definitely start watching these summaries before and after reading each book. I will also recommend this to anyone I know that does bible study. Thank you!

So glad I discovered this channel. I've learned more from you than all my years of church

I spent two years "Living" the book of Job. In tears, I apologized to God that I was not like Job and could not be Job for God. The time taught me so much. In trembling, I thank God for that time of teaching. Perhaps we shall talk about this someday?

I’m crying after listening to this. I’m 30 years old & I just got back on my walk with Christ last summer after having the biggest health scare of my life. I’ve always been a sickly child/adult & always questioned the reason why. As I’ve gotten back closer to God after being estranged for some years, I’ve been reading his word. My godmother advised me to start reading my Bible with the book of John first. I followed her instruction & allowed my intuition to guide me to the next book I should read. Once I made it to Job at the beginning of this year, I read a few chapters and fell off with my daily readings. I just started back reading a few weeks ago and as I’m reading, I start crying because I felt that I was initially drawn to Job because I could relate to his inner dialogue about suffering. This video has explained Job’s journey so simply & helped me to better understand my own journey of suffering. What made me so emotional is to receive validation that I’m not wrong with how I feel and how I choose to process my emotions, which is QUESTION GOD! I’ve been telling God, “Lord, I’m just trying to understand what you’re doing.”
