The story behind the song "It Is Well with My Soul" (http://www.sharefaith.com/guide/Christian-Music/hymns-the-songs-and-the-stories/it-is-well-with-my-soul-the-song-and-the-story.html) reminds me of Job's life.  Job could look beyond his troubles, and see God for who He really was - his friend.

Job 16:20 reads, "My intercessor is my friend as my eyes pour out tears to God; on behalf of a man he pleads with God as a man pleads for his friend."

Earlier, in Job 1:21, it reads, "Naked I cam from my mother's womb, and naked I will depart.  The Lord gave and the Lord has taken away; may the name of the Lord be praised."

I find it difficult to understand why Job did not curse God.  In our own lives, we always ask "why God?"  May God give us the strength to know that whenever we are going through what seems an impossible situation, we must continue to bless Him for His faithfulness, even when it does not seem evident.
