Pain, whether short-term or chronic, can be frustrating. Many times, it distracts us from our daily duties, hobbies, and establishing and maintaining different relationships.
Even worse, striving to untangle oneself from pain is challenging and sometimes can send you into depression and other mental instabilities.
One of the most common ways to approach chronic pain is by seeking medication from a health professional. However, whenever medicine isn’t enough, or it’s not what you wish to rely on, you can always pray to God to release the pain.
Here are seven prayers to get rid of the pain you’re experiencing and witness the glory of God in your life.
1) Short Prayer for Pain to go Away
“Oh God of All Creations,
Thank You for life and all the blessings You’ve showered me with. However, I have been feeling down due to the pain I have in my body.
Kindly handle this illness on my behalf so that I may get back to my usual responsibilities. May You touch the suffering areas in my body, ease inflammation and stiffness, and declare healing. Please release my muscles from tension and restore my health.
In Jesus’ name, I pray and believe. Amen.”

Are you experiencing body pain, or is your heart feeling overwhelmed as you strive to recover?
If so, you’re not alone as Jesus faced different pain from rejection, betrayal, canes, and abandonment and still emerged victorious.
That’s good news for all believers because it confirms they will receive healing from pain.
However, the first step in seeking pain recovery through prayers is forgiving those who might have wronged you, even without their apologies. God the Creator won’t forgive you and heal your pains if you don’t forgive others.
Jesus led as an excellent example regarding forgiving others regardless of the pain you’re experiencing.
As He was being crucified, He prayed to God to forgive His betrayers, for they didn’t know what they did, even though He suffered intense pain (Luke 23:34).
