Prayer Precedes Restoration
Commentators unanimously highlight that Job's restoration began not while he was arguing with his friends, but when he prayed for them. This act of selfless intercession, moving beyond his own suffering, marked the turning point. As one scholar notes, God is pleased with our 'warm devotions, not with our warm disputes,' showing the spiritual maturity and blessing found in praying for others.
