A Prayer to Overcome Affliction:


"Lord Jesus,

You see my affliction.

You know my pain.

You understand my struggle.

You are not distant from it—You are near.


You were a man of sorrows and acquainted with grief.

You know what it is to suffer.

You know what it is to be pressed on every side.

And You are with me now.


I ask You to overcome this affliction in my life.


Strengthen me when I am weak.

Sustain me when I am weary.

Comfort me when I am broken.

Deliver me when I am trapped.

Heal me when I am wounded.

Restore me when I am depleted.


If this affliction is from the enemy—

I rebuke it in Your name.

If this affliction is a trial to refine me—

give me grace to endure it.

If this affliction is a consequence of my choices—

forgive me and lead me out.

If this affliction is a mystery I cannot understand—

give me peace to trust You in it.


I will not be crushed.

I will not be driven to despair.

I will not be destroyed.

Because You are with me.

And You are greater than my affliction.


You have promised to deliver me out of them all.

I stand on that promise.

I receive that deliverance.

I declare that this affliction will not have the final word.


You are my healer.

You are my deliverer.

You are my strength.

You are my hope.


I overcome this affliction—

not in my strength, but in Yours.


In Jesus' name,

Amen."
