I thought that after my diagnosis for ALS, I could learn from Job how to deal with adversity.&nbsp; There were some things that surprised me.&nbsp; Looking at the verse above, the authors stressed that Job prayed every morning for his children.&nbsp; This was before all of his calamity happened.&nbsp; But I took a lesson from this and doubled down on my efforts to make sure I pray for my children EVERY day.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Job had seven sons and three daughters.&nbsp; His children used to take turns hosting feasts for each other.&nbsp; The verse says, &#8220;Job would send and consecrate them, rising up early in the morning and offering burnt offerings according to the number of them all.&#8221;&nbsp; In other words, Job prayed for his children, and prayed for each one.&nbsp; &#8220;This Job did continually.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/ci6.googleusercontent.com\/proxy\/78fQErAj41iEFIL-tplrlqEdPVno3y6NvdN0W_8DizujwBSZPfAnMqhyFl7jxmUzk1BjwN0FhC1fK4aRUGV2XLsyrw-h=s0-d-e1-ft#http:\/\/bibleencyclopedia.com\/nasb\/NASB_Job_1-5.jpg\" alt=\"\"\/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Job 1:5 image.\u00a0 Found at Bible Hub,\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/bibleencyclopedia.com\/slides\/job\/1-5.htm\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">http:\/\/bibleencyclopedia.com\/slides\/job\/1-5.htm<\/a>.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Using Job as an example, I make sure to pray for our three wonderful children, their spouses, and our 12 precious grandchildren each morning.&nbsp;
