- The Book of Job takes us on a journey through suffering and lament. One that is extreme in every way. Join us as we explore the Book of Job chapter by chapter, and ask yourself what it might look like to continue to include God in all the wild seasons of your life. We’ll cover a new chapter every week, so read along with us!
Life has a way of wearing us down. Our burdens stack up—the need to make dinner every night, the repetitive lecturing to your kid about lying, the disappointment of sleeping through your alarm to get to work on time—these hardships stack up until all we can see is our struggle. In the middle of Job’s suffering, his friend Eliphaz asks him a pointed question: “Is God’s comfort not enough for you?”
It’s easy to bristle at that question. When we’re hurting, we want solutions, change, answers—something tangible to improve things. But what if, in the middle of the chaos, God is speaking? What if His gentle reassurances are already there, waiting for us to pause long enough to hear them?
Sister, have you ever been so overwhelmed that even words of comfort didn’t help? Maybe a friend reminded you to trust God, and it felt hollow. Perhaps you read Scripture but felt too exhausted to take it in. It’s not that God isn’t near—it’s that sometimes, our own turmoil drowns out His whisper.
What if today, instead of striving for solutions, we simply rested in His presence? No striving, no fixing—just receiving. Let’s open our hearts to His quiet reassurances. Because even when nothing makes sense, His presence is enough.
