Dear Lord,
We know suffering is a real part of life. Although it is something we wish didn’t exist at all, we know there is purpose in it. We pray we would understand suffering through Your eyes. We pray we would trust in You no matter what circumstances we face in this life. We also lift up close friends who are experiencing suffering right now. We pray You would be their comfort and strength, providing for their every need.
In Jesus’ name, Amen!
