Job 22:20-22 "Submit to God and be at peace with him; in this way prosperity will come to you. Accept instruction from his mouth and lay up his words in your heart.

In this chapter, Job is questioning the judgment of the Lord in his life. During this conversation, God continuously refers to His creation and sarcastically asks Job if he was responsible or present for any of it. Now God knew that Job was not present at the creation of the world; but what is happening is that Job starts to realize that all of his cares and worries are extremely easy for the Lord to handle. Often times in our prayer lives, we come to God with a list of hardships or dilemmas; and if He were to fix all of our cares and worries, we would be able to serve Him better. God already knows our struggles. This passage requires that we submit our hardships to the Lord, but then be at peace and let Him work in our life. When we can be at peace with where the Lord has placed us for this period in time, we accept His will in our life and God will work in you and through you. Be at peace with where the Lord has placed you today!
