The Arthritis Prayer Book

By Irene S. Roth

Arthritis is such a terrible disease. The individual is plagued with pain and disability as well as many sleepless nights. So many things are outside the control of each individual. There are times that the best thing to do is to pray. In this e-book, I examine prayers for ten different aspects of living of arthritis. They are prayers after the diagnosis, how to handle the pain, healing, seeking wisdom, gratitude, and much more. This book will offer solace during a time of pain and fatigue. The best way to read this book is to read it all at once, and then read one prayer a day.

1. Dear God:

I can’t believe that I have so much arthritis pain each and every day. Part of me wants to say, why me? But I know that I can do this with Your help and I will learn a lot about myself as a result of having arthritis. Please give me the strength Lord to carry on and to take one day at a time through this. (Amen)

The Lord also will be a refuge for the oppressed, a refuge in times of trouble.

Psalm 9:9 (all quotes are in NIV version)

2. Dear God:

I know You know all of my thoughts and difficulties, Lord. I don’t feel as alone knowing that you are with me at all times. I pray for a blessing today as I undergo my daily tasks. I feel so stiff and so fatigued. Please keep me in Your compassionate gaze and carry me in the palms of Your hands today. (Amen)

The Lord is my rock, my fortress, and my deliverer; my God, my strength, in whom I will trust; my shield, and the horn of my salvation, and my high tower.

Psalm 18:2

3. Dear God:
