Exhortation #84
When your body feels weary and burdened with pain, this prayer invites God’s restoring power to strengthen your bones, ease your movement, and bring deep healing and peace.
- Dear God,
I thank You
that I can come to You
just as I am.
I am grateful
for Your presence,
Your mercy,
and Your sustaining love. - I admit, Lord,
my body feels weary.
There is a constant ache
that follows me
through my days
and even into my nights. - I feel the weight
of this pain.
I feel the limitation
in my movement.
I feel the frustration
of not being able
to move freely
as I once did. - I place my body
into Your hands.
I surrender
this discomfort
and this burden
to You. - Have mercy on me,
for any ways
my past choices,
overuse,
or unseen burdens
may have contributed
to this condition.
Cleanse my body, Lord.
Restore what has worn down. - Touch my joints, God.
Bring ease
where there is stiffness.
Remove the friction
and the grinding. - Let Your healing flow
like oil
through every joint.
Let movement
become smooth again. - Strengthen my bones.
Restore their density.
Reinforce my foundation
with Your power. - Reach into the history
of my body.
Heal old injuries.
Reverse patterns
that no longer serve me. - Exchange my pain
for strength.
Exchange my stiffness
for flexibility.
Exchange my weakness
for the ability
to stand strong again. - Let the joy of the Lord
be my strength.
Renew my body
with Your joy.
Let that joy
flow through my bones
and restore my movement. - Remove the fear
of fragility.
Replace it
with confidence
and stability. - Let Your goodness and mercy
surround my body.
Let healing
flow deeply
into my bones
and marrow. - Grant me rest, Lord.
As I lie down,
let my body
be restored.
Let Your Spirit
work quietly
within me
while I sleep. - Calm my mind.
Ease my thoughts.
Give me peace
that surpasses understanding. - Guide me, Lord,
in how to care
for this body
You have given me.
Lead me
to the right steps,
the right support,
and the right path forward. - I trust You
are working
even now.
I trust
this body
is being renewed
day by day. - May You be glorified
in my healing,
in my strength,
and in my restoration. - Thank You, God,
for being my healer
and my foundation.
Amen.
