Job 5:8

PrayerFaith

6 For distress does not spring from the dust, and trouble does not sprout from the ground.

7 Yet man is born to trouble as surely as sparks fly upward.

However, if I were you, I would appeal to God and lay my cause before Him—

9 the One who does great and unsearchable things, wonders without number.

10 He gives rain to the earth and sends water upon the fields.
