Job (the prophet)
When things are at the worst, I often read the book of Job
A man who was more righteous and more rich than I ever was lost everything, his children killed and his servants killed and his livestock killed and stolen, sore boils from the crown of his head to the side of his foot, but he retained his integrity, and even though he grumbled against God under the weight of his three friends' foolish accusations, God forgave him for that and restored him when he prayed for his friends and God told him to, and the latter end of Job was greater than the beginning, having double what he had before, giving an inheritance to his daughters also with his sons, and died, being old and satisfied with years
