When Your Brokenness Feels Unbearable, Pray This

This prayer reminds us that God can bring purpose and hope even through seasons of deep brokenness, as written by Karin Hadadan. To deepen this, Rebecca Simon’s Finding God Every Day invites readers to trust God’s process, find strength in suffering, and hold onto hope through every trial.

Sometimes, we go through seasons of brokenness that feel so heavy, confusing, and overwhelming that it’s hard to even know how to move forward. In these trying times, just remember you don’t have to carry it all alone; God is still quietly shaping something meaningful in your pain. Pray along with me today.

Dear God,

Help me see the purpose of my suffering and the pain I’m feeling. I know that all of this is unfolding for me, that one day I will take pride in how I’m handling this season of life, but today it feels unbearable—so give me strength to persevere through my current trials with purpose. I trust in Your process of building my character through these difficulties, and that, similar to how past sufferings developed my perseverance, so will this.

Give me faith and hope that my current struggles are producing something beautiful, and help me today to fully surrender to Your timing, will, and process. I trust that everything I’m currently going through will lead to greater hope, for myself and the world around me.

Amen.
