Gracious God, I feel, at times, as if the ache in my body will never go away. I try to keep a positive attitude even in the midst of this chronic pain, but there are times when I am so weary that my spirit begins to feel as troubled as my body. A wave of darkness settles over me and I wonder if there will ever be any relief, any light emerging on the horizon. I do not know why I am confronted with this thorn in my flesh, and I wish for nothing more than to be released from it. I pray that your healing will wash over me and bring peace to the frayed pockets of my body that know no peace. I pray also that your great grace will gather like gentle wind and restore my soul to joy and hope. I ask this for the sake of your love. Amen.
