The Pain Never Goes Away
Living with chronic pain can feel like carrying an invisible weight—one that others may not see, but you feel every moment. On good days, it’s dull enough that you’re even able to manage ordinary responsibilities. Other days, it flares up and demands your full attention. Chronic pain can be isolating, exhausting, and emotionally heavy, especially when you’re trying to live a “normal” life while managing pain that just won’t go away.
But even here—especially here—God is near. He sees the things no one else does. He understands what it means to hurt in ways the world doesn’t always recognize. And he promises to be present through every ache, every tear, every moment when it’s hard to keep going.
You are not weak for struggling. You are not forgotten in your pain. Whether today feels like a victory or a setback, this prayer is a quiet reminder that you’re not carrying it all alone. God is with you in the hurting, holding you with compassion, and walking with you through it.
“I consider that our present sufferings are not worth comparing with the glory that will be revealed in us” (Romans 8:18).
A Prayer for Chronic Pain
God who sees, you bore suffering in your own body and know what it means to hurt. In this ache that does not leave, be my strength. In my weariness, be my rest. In the moments when I feel alone in my pain or when the thorn in my side becomes a dagger, remind me that you are near, suffering Savior. Please, Lord, if you will not take away this pain, give me the endurance, wisdom, and comfort of your unfailing love to carry this cross. Amen.
