Dear Friends,
Revelation 21:4 contains a very precious promise to all who suffer pain. There is a day coming for all God’s children when there will be no more pain! Praise the Lord! Meanwhile, today’s devotional discusses how we can deal with pain now. God bless you.

Because of Calvary,
John Janney

• Romans 8:22-23 (ESV)

  22 For we know that the whole creation has been groaning together in the pains of childbirth until now. 23 And not only the creation, but we ourselves, who have the firstfruits of the Spirit, groan inwardly as we wait eagerly for adoption as sons, the redemption of our bodies.

“Dear Lord, for all in pain

We pray to Thee;

O come and smite again

Thine enemy

Give to Thy servants skill

To sooth and bless,

And to the tired and ill

Give quietness.

And, Lord, to those who know

Pain may not cease,

Come near, that even so

They may have peace.”

[Amy Carmichael, Rose From Brier, (Fort Washington, PA: Christian Literature Crusade, 1933), p. 100]
