For Weakness & Pain
“Since we are made of flesh and blood, Jesus, too shared in the same. He was made to be like us, fully human in every way, in order that he might identify with us, in service to God. Because he himself suffered, he is able to help those who are suffering.”
Perspective
“Pain insists upon being attended to. God whispers to us in our pleasures, speaks in our consciences, but shouts in our pains. It is his megaphone to rouse a deaf world.”
—C.S. Lewis
Prayer
God, I feel weak today, and my body hurts. The strength that I need is absent. I know that you care for every part of me, inside and out, and that you are no stranger to pain. Be my relief as the treatments and medication just aren’t enough. Grant me special strength in this pain, and move me speedily along the road of healing. Amen.
