struggling to breathe
in His final hours
darkness had fallen
over the world
struggling to breathe
grieving in His spirit
David’s lamentation
these words of the psalms.

like the melting wax
(this one and the others
below all written during
Good Friday prayer vigil)
April 9, 2015
in the fury of our fears
April 9, 2015
in the frenzy of our
questions
April 9, 2015
In the presence of our
cries
April 9, 2015
we ask where God might be
April 9, 2015
we are free to be honest
April 9, 2015
why have you forsaken me
April 9, 2015
struggling to breathe
April 9, 2015
as he hangs on a cross
April 9, 2015
we hear Jesus pray
April 9, 2015
a prayer of
disillusionment
April 9, 2015
a prayer of suffering
April 9, 2015
a prayer of anger
April 9, 2015
a prayer of question
April 9, 2015
a prayer of anguish
