Dear God,
Though I may reject the experience of pain; the pain I feel, the pain that others feel, I recognize the gifts that pain can bring when I am receptive to the wisdom that often is offered with it.
In my spiritual journey, I ask that you keep me open to this wisdom.
May I be filled with strength and fortitude to use the wisdom that has been gifted to me in these trying circumstances.
I thank you God for your help.
