Lord, I do not feel You near. I do not feel much of anything. But I am here. That is all I have. Just being here, in front of You, with nothing to offer but this emptiness. Let it be enough. Let it be Yours.
You were forsaken too. You know this silence. Do not let me go.
Jesus, I cannot carry this anymore. I lay it down, not because I am strong enough to let go, but because I am too broken to hold on.
Take it. Take me. I surrender what I cannot fix and cannot bear. Your Cross was heavier than mine. Walk with me in mine.
God, something in me wants the pain to end, and I am afraid of that wanting. I bring it to You now, honestly, without shame.
I am not asking You to take away my suffering. I am asking You to stay in it with me. Hold me here until the morning comes.
Soul of Christ, sanctify me.
Body of Christ, save me.
Blood of Christ, inebriate me.
Water from the side of Christ, wash me.
Passion of Christ, strengthen me.
O Good Jesus, hear me.
Within Thy wounds hide me.
Suffer me not to be separated from Thee.
From the malicious enemy defend me.
In the hour of my death call me.
And bid me come to Thee,
that with Thy saints I may praise Thee forever.
