Dear Jesus, I have been rejected and despised; I am hurting and destroyed by the pain. I am angry with others and with you, O God, for there is no comfort, none anywhere. I call your name and you are absent. I wonder why you let me suffer so. My cries echo in the universe and ring in my ears and I am weary of the taste of my tears. Hear my plea, O God of love. Let me not be destroyed by this agony on the brink of death. I am like a broken reed, fragile and crushed. Hear my plea, O God of love. Let me not be destroyed. Amen.
