A Prayer for Comfort When Someone You Love Is Suffering

What do you do when someone you love is suffering and there's nothing you can do to make the pain go away?
Maybe you're watching a parent struggle with illness, supporting a spouse through a difficult season, or praying for a child who is hurting.

You want to help. You want to fix it. But sometimes, all you can do is be present, offer support, and pray.
In today's Your Daily Prayer, Peyton Garland shares her experience of watching loved ones endure physical and emotional suffering. She reflects on the helplessness we can feel when someone else's pain is beyond our control.
Through Isaiah 53:3–5, we're reminded that Jesus is acquainted with grief. He understands suffering, and we can bring our fears, questions, and burdens to Him.
If you're praying for someone who is sick, grieving with someone you love, or struggling to understand why God allows suffering, this devotional offers encouragement and a prayer for comfort.
