God Gives No Points for Being "Job Adjacent"

Perhaps because we all of us of a certain age have been there, in the valley of the shadow of death, as opposed to the valley of death itself.

My pal no longer adjacent but right there.  His sister and his wife were taken within a few weeks, and now he lies in a pleasant room with a complete paralysis coming for his lungs.

Does he feel tested by God, is he trying to bargain with Him, or is his entire focus just on not giving up, on not giving in?
