The prayer
A prayer to pray now
Dear God, a man named Job asked You why. He was hurting, confused, and tired. I have asked You that too. Why did my grandpa die? Why did my friend stop talking to me? Why does my body get sick when I just want to play? I do not always get the answer. But Job kept talking to You even when he was sad. So I will keep talking too even when I do not understand. Especially then. Amen.
