Father, Strongtower, Refuge, and Strength, I am in a painful period of time. It has been going on for an extended period of time.
It has been hard and there have been times I wanted to surrender to my emotions, doubt, pride, and laziness. Emotions are fickle and cannot be trusted. Doubt is not of Him. Pride rears up in hard times, in painful times, as we want to control the situation. Laziness is real in times of pain because to work through the pain, and rise from it, it takes hard work; hence, we can be lazy when in pain.
Help me handle my pain in a by far more important way, in a godly way. Help me realize that the pain is to help me cling to You and trust You in all things, as You are transforming me more and more into Your image so I can bring You more glory and point more to You and Yeshua (Jesus). Help me remember You have a reason for the pain and to trust You through it all.
Help me to remember that pain is not something to avoid, though I might wish I could at times. Rather, help me to remember the truth: The hardest times, the most painful times, of my life, have ended up the biggest blessings of my life. Help me remember this and live this truth.
I just want to bring You glory in all I do, including as I go through this period of pain.
