Dear God, thank You for this day. I lift up anyone who’s struggling with pain right now and ask that You help them see it not as an obstacle, but as an opportunity to draw closer to You. Your word in Romans 5:3-4 says, “Knowing that tribulation produces perseverance; and perseverance, character; and character, hope.” God, You are our refuge and our strong tower, and I pray that whatever weight someone is carrying today would be laid down at Your feet instead of held onto in silence. Give them the peace that transcends understanding and remind them that the pain they’re facing is preparing them for something You’ve already called them to. We give You all the praise, the glory, and the honor. In Jesus’ name, Amen.

Blessed is the man who trusts in the Lord, and whose hope is the Lord. -Jeremiah 17:7
