A Prayer About Pain

A prayer about Pain

When I need to see some hope in the pain

Dear Jesus,

Sometimes it’s hard to see you in the pain of the present. I realize that trusting you does not produce a storybook life in which every problem is quickly resolved. Sometimes people get sick and don’t get better; relationships break down and can’t be restored; jobs are lost. How I thank you, however, that not only are you with me in my pain, but I am assured of a happy ending where pain will disappear forever. When you return, discomfort, disappointment, disease, pain, and death will be gone, and I will live with joy in your presence forever. I praise you, Lord Jesus! Because this happy ending is utterly certain, I can endure the unanswered questions and unending crises of this life. How I thank you for the gift of hope in the present pain.

God himself will be with them. He will wipe every tear from their eyes, and there will be no more death or sorrow or crying or pain. All these things are gone forever. Revelation 21:3-4
