See, we count as blessed those who have endured. You have heard of Job’s endurance and have seen the outcome from the Lord. The Lord is very compassionate and merciful.

You ask and don’t receive because you ask with wrong motives, so that you may spend it on your evil desires.

Then I thought: My future is lost, as well as my hope from the Lord.

He then told them a parable on the need for them to pray always and not become discouraged:

Water flooded over my head, and I thought: I’m going to die!I called on Your name, Yahweh, from the depths of the Pit.You hear my plea: Do not ignore my cry for relief.You come near when I call on You; You say:“ Do not be afraid.”You defend my cause, Lord; You redeem my life.

I called to the Lord in my distress, and He answered me. I cried out for help in the belly of Sheol; You heard my voice.You threw me into the depths, into the heart of the seas, and the current overcame me. All Your breakers and Your billows swept over me.But I said: I have been banished from Your sight, yet I will look once more toward Your holy temple.The waters engulfed me up to the neck; the watery depths overcame me; seaweed was wrapped around my head.I sank to the foundations of the mountains; the earth with its prison bars closed behind me forever! But You raised my life from the Pit, Lord my God!As my life was fading away, I remembered Yahweh. My prayer came to You, to Your holy temple.Those who cling to worthless idols forsake faithful love,

Even when I cry out and plead for help, He rejects my prayer.

In my alarm I had said,“ I am cut off from Your sight.” But You heard the sound of my pleading when I cried to You for help.
