Reflect
Physical, mental, and emotional suffering are heavy crosses to bear. May this prayer comfort and strengthen you as you persevere through such hardship today.
Pray
Oh God,
I am weary of this suffering I carry;
weary of how long it has been,
weary of the toll it has taken.
I need you to comfort and hold me today
so I don’t sink into despair.
I believe that even this you can work for my good
but I need you moment by moment
to keep me from giving up hope.
Glorify yourself through my suffering.
Amen.
Act
Picture God carrying you, as a tender mother or father would. Rest in the knowledge that you have not been left to bear this suffering alone.
