Job, in deep despair: "What I feared has come upon me; what I dreaded has happened to me." (Job 3:25)

Yes, it has. But as with Job, God restored to me all that I had lost -- and then some.

Job 3:25
For the thing which I greatly feared is come upon me, and that which I was afraid of is come unto me.

Job was explaining that he constantly offered burnt offerings for his children because he was afraid that his sons had sinned and cursed God in their hearts and he constantly sacrificed for their sins. Job feared and this is a sin. The Bible tells us that Perfect Love casts out all fear, because fear has torment. How many times did Jesus say, "Do not fear." Peter could have walked on water if he had not feared.

Fear is a lack of faith in God. I believe God is telling us that we will all experience it at some time, but it is not necessary.
Believe in God.

Job 3 v 25
Misguided friends, with misdirected persuasiveness, can prove to be a searching test of our integrity toward Jehovah God. Knowing this, Satan maneuvered three companions of Job’s to come together by appointment and launch a combined triple-blow assault on Job’s integrity, to ruin it if possible. Eliphaz from the land of Teman, Bildad, a descendant of Shuah, and Zophar from Naamah did not recognize the disease-wasted Job at first sight. They put on quite a scene of loud, demonstrative mourning over him. Silently they sat observing him for seven days, opening their minds to Satan’s suggestions as to what Job’s condition indicated. Job at last broke the silence by calling down evil on the day of his birth and expressing wonderment as to why God kept him alive. (Job 2:11 to 3:26) This led to a series of three debates. In the first two debates all three men strongly stated what they thought, and Job defended himself against each one in turn. In the third debate Zophar the Naamathite failed to take part, likely thinking it was useless or having nothing further to say, being put to silence with his two companions.

It's in the book of Job. He is speaking of all the disasters he lived through: he lost everything, his kids were killed and then he got terribly ill and his wife turned against him too.
He got down about as far as you can go without actually dying.

I have often quoted this verse in my own life, but like Job, I got to know God on a personal level and things have worked out better than ever before.
The key is nearly at the end of the book of Job: And God healed Job when he prayed for his friends.

Of course, Jesus takes it one step further and tells us to pray for our enemies, too.
But it works.
