I'm positive all of us have felt a crushed spirit at one time or another. Whether it's at the seat of a dying loved one, a huge financial or job loss, devastating news about a close relative, harsh medical news, or even car troubles while in the middle of nowhere--and countless other scenarios--we have all felt that feeling of hopelessness, helplessness, and a downright crushed spirit.
In the next few verses, Job expresses how his life is nearly snuffed out and that he is surrounded by those who continuously mock him.
No one will stand up for him.
He pleads with God for his innocence. His hopes have vanished. His heart's desires are torn away from him.
Hope, he prays for. He searches to find any hope, saying that his only hope may go down in the grave with him.
