Dear Jesus,

Help me to remember that whatever painful discomfort I may feel now is nothing compared to being nailed on the cross.

If I ask why me, help me to remember how you were sinless when you died for people who hated you.

If I cry at the thought of what the future holds, help me to remember even You wept in Gethsemane.

If I feel afraid and abandoned, help me to remember The Angel God sent as You wept.

If I feel my loved ones aren't doing enough, help me to remember not only were you deserted by your friends, thrice you were denied by the one who claimed to love you most.

If I am tempted to get angry, help me to remember that You forgave those who hurt You unto Your Death.

If the situation seems utterly hopeless, help me to remember that You rose from the Dead.
