Heavenly Father, thank You for the privilege of experiencing pain. Through pain, You have added beauty to our lives. We are eternally grateful.
Through pain, You have taught and built in us worthy virtues like kindness, compassion, empathy, wisdom and most importantly we have been able to understand and experience Your strength in our weakness, Your comfort in our grief, Your power in our inabilities, and Your love in our loneliness.
Dear Father, we ask that the challenges of life presently or ahead of us never swallow us or even have any negative impact on us.
Replace our fears with faith, despair with hope, anxiety with peace, guilt with mercy, grief with comfort, loss with gain, lack with abundance.
This we pray through our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ. Amen.
