Discouraged?

"And the LORD turned the captivity of Job, when he prayed for his friends." - Job 42:10

This is a very interesting and important passage from the God's Word, the Bible. I think we all know the story of Job and all the afflictions and problems he had. This verse tells how God took away Job's afflictions when Job prayed for his friends and interceded on their behalf.
Next time you go through a rough time and you just seem overwhelmed by everything that is facing you, remember that God greatly blesses and helps those who help others. When we get our mind off of ourselves and onto others, God just seems to work everything else out. It is something that I have to refocus my mind on everyday because my natural tendency is to think of me but God wants me to thinks of others. Let's respond to the call of God to start thinking of others first; because when we do, God will do great things.
