Job 6:8 Oh That I Might Have My Request

Job 6:8 (KJV) Oh that I might have my request; and that God would grant me the thing that I long for!

Job was sorely tried. In his affliction, he cried out to God.

He sought relief from his sorrow of heart as a result of the grave affliction that befell him suddenly. He asked that God he might have his request to be delivered from his affliction.

Job was tormented in his affliction both in his dire circumstances, having lost his health and wealth and children, he still trusted God. Though accused and tormented by his friends of sinning against God, he maintained his innocency before God and man.

Job was an upright man, one who fear God and hate evil. He was eventually vindicated by God who grant him that he longed for. The restoring of all that he lost twice over. All praise to Him. As His people say as Job in his trial, “Though he slay me, yet will I trust Him.” Amen.
