• A tiny litany for Good Friday

      Jesus, help me to die to myself.

      When I begin to count the cost of sacrifice…
      Jesus, help me to die to myself.

      When my faith feels like an obligation…
      Jesus, help me to die to myself.

      When I feel comfortable in mediocracy…
      Jesus, help me to die to myself.

      When I hide from Your love, convinced I’m beyond saving…
      Jesus, help me to die to myself.

      When I believe You abandoned me in my suffering and weariness…
      Jesus, help me to die to myself.

      When I cling to worldliness, fearing Your plan may cost too much…
      Jesus, help me to die to myself.

      When I don’t believe in You…
      Jesus, help me to die to myself.

      …Jesus, help me to sacrifice with love- to die to myself as You did.
