Prayer for Finding Meaning in Suffering

My Lord, my Redeemer, help me find a meaning in mysufferings, hardships and humiliations. Make my life a part of your divine plan and help me to see beyond this“here and now” that limits my vision.

Speak to me like you spoke to Job, for those to whom you speak can never see the world in the same way. Open myeyes, so that I can see your love in everything. Open myears, so that I can hear your voice in everything.

Teach me to be strong in times of weakness. To carryforward the message of faith, hope and love. When myheart is breaking, touch it with your healing hand andmake me whole again.

Your mercy is endless. Your greatness is beyond compare. You can turn wrong into right and illuminate the darkness with your light. You can make me strong by the very things that make me weak.

Change my heart. Let me be a messenger of your love here on Earth. Where there is bitterness, pour your love, where there is illness and death, pour your living water. Where there is despair, pour your hope.

There are so many times when I feel like a prisoner in myown body, overcome by circumstances I can’t control, overwhelmed by things I don’t understand, defeated bymy own human nature.

Increase my faith in you, for you are the only One whocan give meaning to my suffering. Let my heart see your glory, set me free by your truth, so that I can never feel like a prisoner again.

Amen
