but toward Him

Through it all, Job never stopped praying. Yes, he complained, but he complained to God. He doubted, but he doubted God. He screamed and yelled but he did it all in God's presence. No matter how much agony he was in, he continued to address God. He kept seeking Him. And in the end, God said Job triumphed...not because Job's heart and motives were always right, but because Job's doggedness in seeking the face and presence of God meant that the suffering did not drive him away from God but toward Him. And that made all the difference. -Timothy Keller
