A Broken Body Is a Holy Body

On the devotion from 10/12, LarryS shares a moving and powerful prayer for those struggling with chronic pain and illness:

God of miracles, I am strong in spirit, though weak in body. Pain is not only real—it is my constant companion: the first thing to greet me in the morning and that which puts me to bed. But I will rise to meet the day with an unblemished heart. I will lean into my pain and not cower to it. I will walk with my discomfort and not run from it. Even a broken body is holy because it is made in your likeness. Amen.
