  “Have I sinned? What have I done to You, O watcher of men? Why have You set me as Your target, So that I am a burden to myself?” ‭‭Job‬ ‭7:20‬ ‭NKJV‬‬ Through the right consultation with a human therapist, natural burdens can receive adequate and professional attention.

Unfortunately, many are quickly drifted into wrong accusations and the treatment of God as a wicked watcher in their moment of anguish. But for Job, God is entitled to the basis for the choice of candidate or special specimen for His experiments. The only limitation in the theology of Job is his ignorance of the fact that the basis of God for allowing unpleasant situations and circumstances in believers life is always the best. Therefore, believers should always pray to the wise watcher for grace to get a glimpse of the best in store during their moments of grief.
