- 4. Opening Prayer (In Unison) Almighty God, we give thanks for the many blessings that you have poured into our lives. For deliverance through all our challenges, we give you glory. Draw near to us as we gather to worship you. Give us a clean heart and renew in us a right spirit. Open our eyes that we might see how you have already blessed us and live in excitement and anticipation over what is yet to come. In the Miraculous and Matchless Name of Jesus, we pray. Amen.
- 5. Unison Scripture Reading: Job 8:8-22 (MSG) 8 "Put the question to our ancestors, study what they learned from their ancestors. 9 For we're newcomers at this, with a lot to learn, and not too long to learn it. 10 So why not let the ancients teach you, tell you what's what, instruct you in what they knew from experience? 11 Can mighty pine trees grow tall without soil? Can luscious tomatoes flourish without water?
- 6. 12 Blossoming flowers look great before they're cut or picked, but without soil or water they wither more quickly than grass. 13 That's what happens to all who forget God— all their hopes come to nothing. 14 They hang their life from one thin thread, they hitch their fate to a spider web. 15 One jiggle and the thread breaks, one jab and the web collapses. 16 Or they're like weeds springing up in the sunshine, invading the garden,
- 7. 17 Spreading everywhere, overtaking the flowers, getting a foothold even in the rocks. 18 But when the gardener rips them out by the roots, the garden doesn't miss them one bit. 19 The sooner the godless are gone, the better; then good plants can grow in their place. 20 "There's no way that God will reject a good person, and there is no way he'll help a bad one.
- 8. 21 God will let you laugh again; you'll raise the roof with shouts of joy, 22 With your enemies thoroughly
