SCRIPTURE

"When I say, My bed shall comfort me, My couch shall ease my complaint; Then thou scarest me with dreams, And terrifiest me through visions: So that my soul chooseth strangling, And death rather than [these] my bones." — Job 7:13-15 (ASV)

Were you ever in this terrible place, dear friend? Some of us have been there, and we have used the very language of Job; and yet, for all that, we have been brought up again out of the utmost depths of despondency into the topmost heights of joy.

Therefore, be comforted, you poor prisoners. Through the bars and grating of your soul-dungeon, we would sing to you this song: the Lord, who has brought us forth, can bring you forth also, for the LORD looseth the prisoners.

The God of Job is still alive, strong as ever for the deliverance of those who put their trust in him.
