Arthritis

Arthritis is a condition that causes inflammation, stiffness, and pain in the joints. There are many types, including osteoarthritis and rheumatoid arthritis, and symptoms can range from mild discomfort to severe limitations in movement. It often develops with age but can affect people of all ages. Treatment may include medication, physical therapy, and lifestyle changes to help reduce pain and maintain mobility.

Bible verse to remember: “I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me” (Philippians 4:13).

Father,
For those whose movements are slowed by pain,
be their strength.
When joints ache and tasks feel heavy,
grant perseverance and gentle relief.
Let each small movement be supported by Your grace.

Amen.
