A Prayer for Those Suffering from Chroni...

Your Daily Prayer
About this episode

Chronic pain affects not only the body but the mind and soul as well. In today’s heartfelt devotional, Vivian Bricker shares from her personal journey with autoimmune illness and the emotional toll that chronic suffering can bring—loneliness, isolation, and the temptation to give up. But amidst the pain, Vivian reminds us of the hope found in God’s unchanging presence and faithful love.

Through Psalm 73:26, we’re encouraged to trust that God is our portion and strength, even when our bodies and hearts fail. Vivian’s honest reflection and vulnerable prayer offer comfort to anyone battling pain, reminding us that we are seen, we are not alone, and that God’s grace sustains us day by day.


✨ Key Takeaway:

Pain may be part of our story, but it doesn’t define us—Jesus does. God sees every tear and every moment of struggle. His strength carries us, and His promises give us hope beyond the pain.


🙏 A Prayer from the Episode:

“Dear God, I am suffering from chronic pain, and it is a lot to cope with. I want all the pain to end. I know You may not answer my prayer in the way I want, but I know You can help me and provide relief...”
