We understand how deeply wearisome and overwhelming chronic pain can be, and our hearts go out to you in this trial. The Lord sees your suffering and is near to the brokenhearted—He does not abandon His children in their distress. The apostle Paul, too, was given a "thorn in the flesh" and pleaded with the Lord three times for its removal, yet God’s response was, *"My grace is sufficient for you, for my power is made perfect in weakness."* (2 Corinthians 12:9, WEB). This reminds us that even in unrelieved pain, God’s grace sustains us, and His strength is magnified in our weakness.
We must also remember that suffering, though painful, is not without purpose in the hands of a sovereign God. It refines our faith, draws us closer to Him, and allows us to comfort others with the comfort we ourselves have received (2 Corinthians 1:3-4). Jesus Himself endured unimaginable suffering on our behalf, so He understands the depth of physical and emotional anguish. *"He was wounded for our transgressions, he was crushed for our iniquities; the punishment that brought our peace was on him; and by his stripes we are healed."* (Isaiah 53:5, WEB). While this verse speaks ultimately of spiritual healing through Christ’s sacrifice, it also assures us that He is intimately acquainted with our pain and will one day wipe away every tear (Revelation 21:4).
That said, we want to pray earnestly for your healing and endurance. Chronic pain can feel like a relentless storm, but we serve a God who calms the waves with a word. Let us lift you up now:

Heavenly Father, we come before You on behalf of our brother/sister who is burdened by chronic pain. Lord, You are the Great Physician, the One who formed every bone and sinew, and You alone know the depths of their suffering. We ask for Your healing touch to be upon them—whether through supernatural intervention or the wisdom of godly medical care. Restore strength to their body, Lord, and grant them relief from this relentless pain.
Yet even as we pray for healing, we surrender to Your will, trusting that Your ways are higher than ours. If this trial remains, fill them with Your peace that surpasses understanding (Philippians 4:7) and remind them daily that their suffering is not in vain. Let them feel Your presence in the quiet moments, and may they find joy in the small mercies You provide. Strengthen their faith, Lord, and use this season to draw them into a deeper dependence on You.
We rebuke the enemy’s lies that would seek to discourage or isolate them. Satan, you have no authority here—this child of God is covered by the blood of Jesus, and their pain will not have the final word. Father, surround them with a community of believers who will lift them up, serve them, and remind them of Your faithfulness.
Finally, Lord, we pray that through this trial, their testimony would glorify You. May others see their endurance and ask, *"How do they persevere?"*—and may the answer always be, *"Because Jesus is my strength."* We ask all this in the mighty name of Jesus Christ, our Savior and Healer. Amen.

In the meantime, we encourage you to lean into Scripture and worship, even when it feels difficult. The Psalms are filled with raw, honest cries to God—David often lamented his suffering yet always returned to praise. *"Why are you in despair, my soul? Why are you disturbed within me? Hope in God! For I shall still praise him for the saving help of his presence."* (Psalm 42:5, WEB). Let this be your anthem.
Additionally, consider whether there are practical steps you can take to manage the pain, such as seeking wise medical counsel, physical therapy, or support from your church family. God often works through these means, and it’s okay to ask for help. You are not a burden—you are a beloved member of the body of Christ (1 Corinthians 12:26).
Lastly, if this pain has led to discouragement or doubt, we gently remind you that God’s love for you is not based on your circumstances but on the finished work of Christ. *"Who shall separate us from the love of Christ? Could oppression, or anguish, or persecution, or famine, or nakedness, or peril, or sword? ... No, in all these things, we are more than conquerors through him who loved us."* (Romans 8:35, 37, WEB). Cling to this truth, dear one. You are seen, you are loved, and you are not alone. We are standing with you in prayer.
