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.
