A prayer to pray now
Dear God, Isaiah 53:5 says that by Jesus's wounds we are healed. Jesus was hurt so that I could be made whole forever. When I get hurt, it does not always make me better. But what Jesus did on the cross healed me for good. Thank You that His pain was not wasted. And mine does not have to be wasted either. You can use even my smallest aches. Even my scrapes and bruises. You can make something good come from them. Amen.
