Agreed.  I have felt like Job many times.  Especially as a single mother.
Job asked "Is my strength the strength of stones?"  Seasons in our life
change, thank the Lord.  It is not always winter!

Sing, O heavens; and be joyful, O earth; and break forth into singing, O
mountains: for the LORD hath comforted his people, and will have mercy upon
his afflicted.

But Zion said, The LORD hath forsaken me, and my Lord hath forgotten me.

Can a woman forget her sucking child, that she should not have compassion
on the son of her womb? yea, they may forget, yet will I not forget thee.

Behold, I have graven thee upon the palms of my hands; thy walls are
continually before me. (Isaiah 49:13-16)
