A Prayer to Pray when You are in Pain

Jeremiah 15:15-18

[15] Lord, you understand;

    remember me and care for me.

    Avenge me on my persecutors.

You are long-suffering—do not take me away;

    think of how I suffer reproach for your sake.

[16] When your words came, I ate them;

    they were my joy and my heart’s delight,

for I bear your name,

    Lord God Almighty.

[17] I never sat in the company of revelers,

    never made merry with them;

I sat alone because your hand was on me

    and you had filled me with indignation.

[18] Why is my pain unending

    and my wound grievous and incurable?

You are to me like a deceptive brook,

    like a spring that fails.
