Question

Why did God tell Job's friends to go to Job and have him pray for them?

Answer

Now, these men who had scorned, and had kinda made fun of Job, God said to them, “You go take an offering and go down to Job, my righteous servant. I won’t hear you, because you got too much folly. You haven’t stood for truth. You haven’t did what’s right. Therefore, you take a burnt offering, and go down and offer a sacrifice, and ask my servant Job to pray for you, for I will hear him.” There you are. Prayer changes things, doesn’t it? “Go ask my servant Job, and let him pray for you, one that’s been through the tests, one that I’ve found favor in, one that I’ve blessed.” Now, if your…If you got a good, godly pastor, and you’re sick and—and the doctor can do nothing for you, go get that godly pastor to come to the house, and say, “Now, dear God, here—here’s my elder. Here is—here’s my pastor. I know he’s a good, godly man. I’m going to kneel with him here the side of my baby. I ask you, dear Lord, to have mercy.” Something’s got to take place. That’s all. See? “My servant Job will pray for you.”
