Strength

A Prayer for Strength on a Painful Crohn’s Day

A Christianity prayer for strength.

Lord of compassion,

Today my body hurts and I am tired of carrying the burden of Crohn’s disease. Meet me here, in this difficult day, and give me the strength I cannot find within myself.

Bring comfort to my intestines, calm the inflammation troubling my body, and help me find relief.

When I cannot think beyond the present moment, give me enough courage for the next hour and enough hope for tomorrow.

May this painful day pass, and may gentler days come again.

Amen.
