We gave up on medicine relying on prayer, and now our only prayer to God is that we no longer even need to pray.

There is a poignant and beautiful paradox at the heart of this couplet. Having realized that worldly medicines could not cure their pain, the poet turned entirely toward spiritual faith and prayer. Yet, continually pleading for relief is its own exhausting ache; so the ultimate wish becomes reaching a state of total peace or surrender where even the need to ask for help disappears entirely.
