Father, help me to live the kind of life Job lived.
May I walk with You each moment of each day. If I can live in a state of constant awareness of Your abiding presence, I will be blameless and upright.
May I have a healthy fear of You. Not a fear that drives me away or keeps me at an arm's distance from You, but a fear that is respectful and holds You up as Lord. A fear that reminds me You are God and I'm not.
May I run from evil. Help me to be able to discern evil. Help me to recognize the sly ways it wants to work into my mind and life. Like Job, may I reject it.
Thank you God for the example we have in Your servant Job.
Amen
Job 1:1
In the land of Uz there lived a man whose name was Job. This man was blameless and upright; he feared God and shunned evil.
