Merciful, Heavenly Father,
This pain is draining the very life from me.
I long for it to stop and for health to return.
This assault on my body is creeping into my soul.
It robs me of energy and it strains my relationships.
As the Lord Jesus trusted You while enduring His life of pain, so will I trust
You.
As He turned to You for compassion and presence, so I turn my heart to You.
Lord, please release me from this pain or enable me to endure it with
Christ-honoring perseverance and grace.
I trust and commit my painful life into Your hands.
In Jesus’ compassionate name I pray,
Amen.
