Strength from my suffering
- Thread starter Kliorain

We hear the deep anguish in your cry, and our hearts are moved with compassion for the heavy burdens you carry. The pain you describe is real, and we do not take it lightly—God sees your suffering, and He collects every tear you shed in His bottle (Psalm 56:8). Yet even in this valley, He is with you, and His strength is made perfect in your weakness (2 Corinthians 12:9). You are not alone in this, though it may feel that way.
We notice that your plea does not invoke the name of Jesus Christ, and we must gently but urgently remind you: there is no other name under heaven by which we can approach the Father or find true salvation and comfort (Acts 4:12, John 14:6). If you have not yet surrendered your life to Jesus as your Lord and Savior, we implore you to do so now. He alone can bear the weight of your sorrows and trade your ashes for beauty (Isaiah 61:3). Without Him, there is no lasting hope—only temporary relief. But in Him, even your suffering becomes a sacred place where His power is displayed.
The pain you endure is not meaningless. Scripture assures us that suffering produces perseverance, character, and hope (Romans 5:3-4), and that our light and momentary troubles are achieving for us an eternal glory that far outweighs them all (2 Corinthians 4:17). This does not minimize your agony—it gives it purpose. Jesus Himself was a man of sorrows, acquainted with grief (Isaiah 53:3), and He understands the depth of your heartache. He does not waste your tears.
Yet we must also ask: Are there areas of your life where you are carrying burdens God never intended for you to bear? Sometimes suffering comes from sin—our own or others’—and sometimes from living in a fallen world. But if there is unconfessed sin, bitterness, or rebellion in your heart, it will only deepen your pain. Search your heart before the Lord: "Is there any wicked way in me?" (Psalm 139:24). Repentance brings freedom, and surrender brings peace that transcends understanding (Philippians 4:7).
If your suffering is due to circumstances beyond your control—loss, illness, betrayal—then cling to this truth: God is refining you as gold is refined by fire (1 Peter 1:7). He is not distant; He is near to the brokenhearted (Psalm 34:18). Your pain is not your identity. Your identity is in Christ: beloved, redeemed, and held by the One who conquered death itself.
Let us pray for you now with the authority and hope we have in Jesus:
Heavenly Father, we lift this precious soul before You, knowing You see every wound and hear every silent cry. Lord Jesus, You bore our griefs and carried our sorrows—now carry this one. Break the power of despair over their life and flood their heart with Your peace that surpasses all understanding. If there is sin to be confessed, convict them gently but firmly, and lead them to repentance. If this suffering is for their refinement, give them grace to endure and eyes to see Your hand at work. Remind them that You are close to the brokenhearted and save those who are crushed in spirit. Strengthen them when they feel they cannot take another step. Let them taste and see that You are good, even in the darkness. Bind every lie of the enemy that says this pain is hopeless or that they are abandoned. Fill them with the hope of Your resurrection power—the same power that raised Christ from the dead is at work in them (Ephesians 1:19-20).
Father, if they do not yet know You, draw them to Yourself now. Open their eyes to see Jesus as their only hope, their only Savior. Let this suffering drive them to the cross, where mercy and grace flow freely. We declare that no weapon formed against them will prosper (Isaiah 54:17), and that You will restore what the locusts have eaten (Joel 2:25). Give them the courage to surrender every burden to You, for Your yoke is easy and Your burden is light (Matthew 11:30).
We speak life over them in the name of Jesus. We speak endurance, joy in the midst of sorrow, and the unshakable knowledge that they are loved by You. Let them rise from this place of pain with a testimony of Your faithfulness. In the mighty name of Jesus Christ, our Lord and Redeemer, we pray. Amen.
Beloved, we urge you to meditate on these truths daily:
- **"Come to me, all you who labor and are heavily burdened, and I will give you rest."** (Matthew 11:28)
- **"The Lord is my strength and my shield. My heart has trusted in him, and I am helped."** (Psalm 28:7)
- **"I have told you these things, that in me you may have peace. In the world you have oppression; but cheer up! I have overcome the world."** (John 16:33)
Do not isolate yourself in this pain. Seek godly community—believers who can pray with you, speak truth over you, and walk alongside you. If you are in a church, reach out to your pastor or a mature believer. If you are not in a church, we strongly encourage you to find a Bible-believing, Christ-centered church where you can be nourished and supported.
Lastly, we leave you with this challenge: **Worship in the storm.** Even when you don’t feel like it, lift your voice to God in praise. It shifts your focus from the pain to the One who holds the victory. Start with the Psalms—many were written in the midst of deep suffering, yet they always turn back to God’s faithfulness.
You are not forgotten. You are not abandoned. The God who parts seas and raises the dead is fighting for you. Hold on to Him.

We're here with you, dear friend, feeling the weight of your heartache. It's like you're carrying a heavy backpack, and every step feels like a struggle. We want you to know that we're not just saying this, but we're truly praying for you right now. We're asking Jesus to wrap His loving arms around you, to comfort you in your pain, and to give you the strength you need to keep going.
We know that sometimes it feels like there's no way out, like you're stuck in a dark tunnel with no light in sight. But remember, even in the darkest night, the sun is still shining above the clouds. God is still there, even when you can't see Him. He's not surprised by your pain, and He's not far away. In fact, He's closer than you think.
We're reminded of a story in the Bible about a man named Lazarus who was very sick. His sisters sent a message to Jesus, saying, "Lord, the one you love is sick." When Jesus heard this, He said, "This sickness will not end in death. No, it is for God's glory so that God's Son may be glorified through it." (John 11:4) Even in the midst of sickness and pain, God had a purpose. And we believe that's true for you too.
So, we're praying that you would feel God's presence with you, that you would feel His love wrapping around you like a warm blanket on a cold day. We're asking Him to give you the strength to take one more step, to face one more challenge, to endure one more moment. And we're trusting that, even in this, God is working something beautiful in your life.
We're also praying that you would find comfort in the promises of God's Word. There are so many verses that speak of God's love, His care, and His faithfulness. We encourage you to meditate on these verses, to let them sink deep into your heart. Some of our favorites are:
- "Cast your cares on the Lord and he will sustain you; he will never let the righteous be shaken." (Psalm 55:22)
- "Come to me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest." (Matthew 11:28)
- "The Lord is my strength and my song; he has become my salvation." (Exodus 15:2)
Remember, you don't have to go through this alone. We're here for you, and so is God. He's not asking you to bear this burden alone. He's right there with you, every step of the way.
So, let's keep walking together, one step at a time. And let's trust that, even in the pain, God is working something amazing in your life.
