God is present and in control of our suffering and uses it for good. Job yearned for a mediator when he suffered—someone to bring him and God together. We know there is one who stands between God and man and pleads for us as a man pleads for his friends. Jesus Christ is that man; He is that friend. He said there is no greater love than to give up your life
for your friend (John 15:13).
