Suffer

We hear your cry of suffering and lift it before the throne of grace, where our Lord sits enthroned in mercy. The weight of pain—whether physical, emotional, or spiritual—can feel unbearable, but we stand with you in the truth that our God is near to the brokenhearted and saves those who are crushed in spirit (Psalm 34:18). Your suffering is not unseen, nor is it without purpose, though the purpose may be hidden from you now.

First, we must address the foundation of your cry. If you have not yet placed your trust in Jesus Christ, the only Mediator between God and man (1 Timothy 2:5), we urge you to do so now. There is no mercy apart from Him, for He is the Lamb of God who takes away the sin of the world (John 1:29). Salvation is found in no one else, for there is no other name under heaven given to mankind by which we must be saved (Acts 4:12). If you have not confessed your sin and surrendered your life to Christ, we plead with you to repent and believe in Him today. His mercy is available to you this very moment.

For those who already walk with Christ, suffering is not a sign of God’s absence but often a tool He uses to refine our faith. The apostle Paul, who knew suffering intimately, wrote that our present troubles are achieving for us an eternal glory that far outweighs them all (2 Corinthians 4:17). Even when we do not understand, we can trust that God’s mercy is new every morning (Lamentations 3:22-23), and His compassions never fail. We do not serve a distant or indifferent God but One who entered into our suffering through His Son, Jesus, who was despised and rejected, a man of sorrows and familiar with grief (Isaiah 53:3).

If your suffering is the result of sin—whether your own or the sin of others—we must not shrink from calling it what it is. Unrepentant sin separates us from God (Isaiah 59:2), and the wages of sin is death (Romans 6:23). But here is the glorious truth: the free gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord. If you are trapped in sin, whether it be bitterness, unforgiveness, addiction, sexual immorality, or any other transgression, we implore you to confess it before the Lord. He is faithful and just to forgive us our sins and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness (1 John 1:9). Do not let shame or pride keep you from His mercy. The blood of Jesus cleanses us from all sin (1 John 1:7), and there is now no condemnation for those who are in Christ Jesus (Romans 8:1).

If your suffering is not the direct result of sin but simply the brokenness of this fallen world, we grieve with you. We live in a world groaning under the weight of sin’s curse (Romans 8:22), and pain is an inescapable part of the human experience. But we do not lose heart. Though outwardly we are wasting away, inwardly we are being renewed day by day (2 Corinthians 4:16). Our hope is not in this world but in the resurrection, where God will wipe away every tear, and there will be no more death or mourning or crying or pain (Revelation 21:4).

We must also rebuke the lies of the enemy that often accompany suffering. Satan would have you believe that God has abandoned you, that your pain is meaningless, or that you are beyond His reach. But the Word of God declares that nothing can separate us from the love of Christ—not tribulation, or distress, or persecution, or famine, or nakedness, or danger, or sword (Romans 8:35). The enemy is a liar, and his accusations have no power over those who are in Christ. Resist him, firm in your faith (1 Peter 5:9), and he will flee from you.

Let us pray for you now:

Heavenly Father, we come before You with heavy hearts, lifting up this dear one who is suffering. Lord, You are the God of all comfort, who comforts us in all our troubles so that we can comfort those in any trouble with the comfort we ourselves receive from You (2 Corinthians 1:3-4). We ask that You would draw near to this child of Yours, that they would feel Your presence in a tangible way. Let them know that You are their refuge and strength, an ever-present help in trouble (Psalm 46:1).

Father, if there is unconfessed sin in their life, reveal it to them now. Give them the courage to repent and the faith to believe in Your forgiveness. Cleanse them by the blood of Jesus and restore them to fellowship with You. If their suffering is not the result of sin but simply the pain of living in a broken world, we ask that You would give them strength to endure. Help them to fix their eyes not on what is seen but on what is unseen, for what is seen is temporary, but what is unseen is eternal (2 Corinthians 4:18).

Lord, we rebuke the spirit of despair and hopelessness that seeks to take root in their heart. We declare that You are the God who raises the dead and calls into being things that were not (Romans 4:17). You are able to do immeasurably more than all we ask or imagine (Ephesians 3:20). We ask that You would work a miracle in their life—whether it be physical healing, emotional restoration, or spiritual renewal. But even if You choose not to remove the suffering, we pray that You would use it for Your glory and their good.

Father, we ask that You would surround them with godly community—believers who will weep with them, pray for them, and encourage them with Your Word. Let them not isolate themselves but find strength in the body of Christ. Remind them that they are not alone, for You have said, “Never will I leave you; never will I forsake you” (Hebrews 13:5).

Above all, Lord, we pray that this suffering would draw them closer to You. May they learn to trust You more deeply, to rely on Your strength, and to find their hope in Your promises. Let their life be a testimony to Your faithfulness, that others may see Your goodness and give You praise.

We ask all these things in the mighty and merciful name of Jesus Christ, our Lord and Savior. Amen.

To the one who is suffering, we leave you with these words of encouragement: “Consider it pure joy, my brothers and sisters, whenever you face trials of many kinds, because you know that the testing of your faith produces perseverance. Let perseverance finish its work so that you may be mature and complete, not lacking anything” (James 1:2-4). Your suffering is not in vain. God is at work, even in the darkest valleys, and He will not abandon you. Keep your eyes on Jesus, the author and perfecter of your faith, who for the joy set before Him endured the cross, scorning its shame, and sat down at the right hand of the throne of God (Hebrews 12:2). You are loved, you are seen, and you are not forgotten.
 
We're right here with you, dear one, in your time of suffering. We know that pain can feel overwhelming, like a heavy weight that's hard to bear. But remember, our God is near to the brokenhearted, and He saves those who are crushed in spirit (Psalm 34:18). He sees you, and He cares deeply about what you're going through.

We want to remind you of the promise in 2 Corinthians 1:3-4, "Praise be to the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of compassion and the God of all comfort, who comforts us in all our troubles, so that we can comfort those in any trouble with the comfort we ourselves receive from God." He is the God of all comfort, and He wants to comfort you in your troubles.

Let's pray together:

Dear Heavenly Father, we come to You today on behalf of our suffering friend. Lord, we ask that You would draw near to them, that they would feel Your presence in a tangible way. Let them know that You are their refuge and strength, an ever-present help in trouble (Psalm 46:1).

Father, if there is any unconfessed sin in their life, reveal it to them now. Give them the courage to repent and the faith to believe in Your forgiveness.
