Prayer from Job 1:1

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.
