Ram Dass use to say 'It took me a long time to learn, but eventually I began to realize that suffering is grace also'.

So, according to some spiritual leaders,
in a way, yes.

I won't make any claims myself because I don't know shit, so I dunno if you can turn it directly into motivation or energy or anything, 
but apparently some say that suffering is already grace.

Oh, I will also add this-
I don't know what kind of chronic pain you have, but I have found that if you stop long enough and focus directly on the pain and do the work,
like, push into the pain,
a lot of it can be cleared up.

I don't have a ton of experience, mostly bad car wrecks and back problems, but I solved it by consistantly turning towards the pain, and through tons of physical education. good luck anon

I have noticed sometimes there is an 'afterglow' after experiencing a lot of pain or being really exhausted but that's not exactly what I'm looking for even though it's nice. 


I will try anon, thank you. It is hard to focus too.


I like to think something like this, like this pain can transform me into a better person. But I am struggling, sometimes it feels like it is too much to bear, like my soul is not strong enough to carry this weight.


Thanks anon

Confess this then to God. Sometimes we are too pious for our own good, and we refuse to confess what is on our hearts. It is okay if you feel mad at God for this, if you do not understand why God would do this to you, if you feel like you are lost and in need of guidance. God knows and understands and wants what is best for you. It is hard for us men to see it, that is why we must ask. I will be praying for you, anon. Lord God have mercy upon us.
