For example, if a person is injured in a car accident, they may file a lawsuit against the driver who caused the accident. In their complaint, they would include a prayer for relief asking for compensation for their medical bills, lost wages, and pain and suffering.
The prayer for relief is a part of a complaint where the person who is suing (called the plaintiff) tells the court what they want the court to do to help them. This is required by the rules of the court. The prayer for relief is usually at the end of the complaint.
Pray these words: Dear Lord, help me remember that I am not my pain; I am a child of God—loved, gifted, welcomed, wanted. Concentrate on what you feel besides your pain. Press your feet into the ground or floor. Feel them support you.
I need to know that you care, that you love me, be my refuge from pain, replacing my distress with peace, and be my strength when I feel weak and find it hard to carry on. Help me not to fear the future but to boldly trust that you are in control when my emotions plunge me down, and when I am in despair.
