That's a good way to look at it. I've never really had a good study on Job.

I'm reading a story about a missionary in China who had been persecuted and tortured - needles under his fingernails and electrical shocks from a baton. But, God strengthens him and he said that the ultimate peace he had was when he had surrendered body, mind and soul to the service and care of God. When you can be tortured knowing that God is going to take care of you or take you home, that has to be perfect peace.

That is beyond my ability to even comprehend.
I've often thought, surely Jesus gives a special strength to endure such things.
I'm sure the key was/is to be totally surrendered.
